Abu Lahab

Abu Lahab ibn Abd al-Muttalib publicly rejected Muhammad's claim to prophethood. He mocked Muhammad and actively opposed his message, using his influence to turn the Quraysh against Islam. His wife Umm Jamil also harassed Muhammad.

Abu Lahab and his wife were condemned in Surah al-Masad (Chapter 111) of the Quran, which states they will perish in hellfire. This is the only instance where a contemporary of Muhammad is explicitly named and cursed in the Quran.

Abu Lahab died shortly after the Battle of Badr, reportedly from a disease. His death was seen by Muslims as divine punishment. He never converted to Islam and remained an opponent until his death.
