What was Abu Lahab's religion? Why did he oppose Islam when his father and brothers were followers of the religion of Ibrahim which did not allow worshiping idols?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Abu Lahab's name is Abdul Ozza ibn Abdul Muttalib Ibn Hashim. He was a step brother of Abdullah, the father of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA). He had bad relationship with Abu Talib which might be one of the reasons of his negative attitude against the Prophet (SAWA) who was fully supported by Abu Talib (AS). His wife was Um Jameel , from Bani Umayya family who were always against the Prophet and Abu Talib

 Obviously, his father Abdul Muttalib (AS) was a great believer and follower of Ebraheem (AS) but Abu Lahab was a bad and disobedient son of his father. His jealousy was behind his evil acts against the Prophet, keeping in mind his evil wife who was instigating him against the Prophet (SAWA).

'When the Prophet invited his near family members and informed and called them to Islam, then announced that Ali will be his successor and deputy, Abu Lahab tried to degrade Abu Talib (his opponent) by telling him in front of others: He (The Prophet) made your son above you لقد أمّر عليك ابنك

Is it incorrect for me to believe that Allah (SWT) cannot become human, which is one reason why I prefer Islam over Christianity, while my mother believes that Allah (SWT) has the capability to become human but chooses not to?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Allah (SWT) Has The Absolute Virtues like Absolute Knowledge of everything and Absolue Power and Absolute Wisdom and Absolute Mercy etc, while human being is full of weakness and with very limited knowledge, so how can Allah (SWT) become a human being??

How can The Absolute Powerful becomes weak? How can The Absolute Knowing becomes an ignorant??

Allah (SWT) is Above all our imaginations and we can never compare ourselves with Allah (SWT).

in the Morning supplication Du'a Al-Sabah we read (I Who Guuded to Himsekf by Himself, and Glorified from similarity with His creatures).
