The CURSED Death of Abu Lahab: What Really Happened After Surah Al-Masad Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@LightofIslam-1xp?sub_confirmation=1 - The year is 624 CE. A powerful man in Mecca lies dying, his body covered in festering boils, abandoned even by his own family. This is not just a gruesome death—it is the eerie fulfillment of a prophecy revealed years earlier in the Qur’an. In this video, we dive deep into the chilling story of Abu Lahab, the uncle who turned into one of the fiercest enemies of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. From the early days of Islam in Mecca, to the revelation of Surah Al-Masad (Surah 111), to his horrifying final moments and disgraceful burial, this is a story that has echoed through Islamic history for over fourteen centuries. You’ll discover: Who Abu Lahab really was and why he opposed the Prophet so viciously How Surah Al-Masad named and condemned him while he was still alive Why his failure to “fake” conversion is seen as a powerful proof of prophecy The gruesome details of his disease, isolation, and shameful burial The theological, psychological, and spiritual lessons Muslims take from his fate What his story teaches us today about pride, power, family conflict, and rejecting truth Whether you’re Muslim, studying Islamic history, or just curious about claimed fulfilled prophecies in religion, this episode walks you step by step through the life, curse, and death of Abu Lahab—and why he is still remembered as a timeless warning. If this story reaches you in Jakarta, London, Cairo, New York, or anywhere else in the world, drop your city in the comments and let’s build a global community of seekers who care about truth, history, and meaning.
