Born around 566 CE, Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib was a wealthy Meccan merchant just three years older than his nephew Muhammad. During Islam's early years he shielded Muhammad in Mecca even before his own conversion, which came only after the Battle of Badr in 624 CE. That late turn to the faith didn't limit his legacy: his descendants seized power in 750, founding the Abbasid Caliphate. He died around 653, having moved from trade to prophecy's inner circle to ancestral pillar of an empire.
