[[EstablishingCharacterMoment Introduced]] threatening Muhammad's uncle, Abu Talib, by trying to restrain Muhammad by himself, he then also threaten to whip one of Muhammad's followers, Amar, if he still follows Muhammad's words. After Muhammad's followers began a revolution, Abu Jahl then instigated the Mecca citizens under the pretense that their religion will be destroyed in order to pit them against Muhammad's followers. Seemingly stopped, Abu Jahl then captures all of Muhammad's followers who started the rebellion, planning to torture them one by one. He also [[ColdBloodedTorture physically]] and [[MindRape mentally tortured]] Amar by whipping him and [[ForcedToWatch forcing him to watch]] as his mother was racked by Abu Jahl. When the mother spit on Abu Jahl's face, he then impaled her with a spear.
