Did Abu Talib, the uncle of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, embrace Islam? What is a brief overview of his life and his stances with the Messenger? Is there a website to learn about him and the biographies of the Companions and the Household of the Prophet?
Abu Talib died as a disbeliever. He had taken care of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, after the death of his grandfather, when the Prophet was eight years old. Abu Talib loved him dearly and took him on a trade journey to Shaam. Abu Talib refused to hand over the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to Quraysh, and he called upon Banu Hashim and Banu Al-Muttalib to protect him. They responded to his call, so Quraysh boycotted Banu Hashim for three years in their valley. Abu Talib passed away six months after they emerged from the valley.
