A fundamental principle of Islam is the belief in divine proof, which necessitates the presence of prophets and divine leaders in the worldly life of humans. This paper seeks to explore the semantic range of divine proofs beyond just the prophets and divine leaders; simply having divine messengers and their successors does not fulfill the breadth of the principle "And for every people is a guide." Therefore, there must be individuals other than those mentioned who fall within the semantic domain of "divine proof" and fill the gap referred to as the "period of occultation." If this is not the case, the principle "And for every people is a guide" will never come to fruition. In this context, Abu Talib possesses characteristics that align perfectly with the essence of divine proof. The evidence categorized into two groups—manifest and hidden or conforming and consequential—demonstrates the ultimate purpose of such divine proofs. The findings of this research affirm the status of Abu Talib as a divine proof to fulfill two historical responsibilities:
. Preserving the divine proofs and signs before the emergence of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him); Creating the necessary groundwork for the emergence of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
