Contemplation of Abdul Muttalib’s legacy reveals his prophetic foresight. The narratives surrounding his life include extraordinary events that seemingly portend the future greatness of his grandson. One notable episode is the dream Abdul Muttalib had regarding the significance of the elephant army seeking to attack the Kaaba, where he exhibited faith and steadfastness that would resonate in the spiritual domain. This action not only demonstrated his deep spirituality but also infused Muhammad (a) with a sense of destiny and divine purpose as he was raised in an environment enveloped by signs of divine favor and protection.
