In the name of Allaah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Almighty Allaah Says (what means): "For the accustomed security of the
Quraysh – Their accustomed security [in] the caravan of winter and
summer – Let them worship the Lord of thisHouse, Who has fed them,
[savingthem] from hunger and made them safe, [saving them] from fear."
[Quran: 106: 1-4]
Explanation:
Muhammad Ibn Is-haaq and `Abdur-Rahmaan Ibn Zayd Ibn Aslam said that
this Quranicchapter is connected to the previous one, Al-Feel (The
Elephant), because they both assert that Allaah the Exalted protected
Makkah from the elephant and destroyed the People of the Elephant for
the accustomed security of Quraysh (the main Makkan tribe) and
theircommunity in their city, in safety.
It was also said that they were accustomed to travelling in caravans
to Yemen in winter and to Syria in summer for trade and other
purposes, and that they would return to their city in safety without
hindrance becauseof their privileged status as the custodians of the
Sacred House ofAllaah, and that whoever recognised them would respect
them and travel with them in order to protect them. This was their
situation, both in winter and in summer.
According to Imaam Ibn Jareer the correct explanation of this verse is
that Allaah is saying, in other words: "Be amazed at the taming of
Quraysh and My Blessings upon them," because the consensus of Muslim
opinion is that they are two separate Soorahs (Quranic chapters),
independent of each other. Then Allaah indicates to them the
obligation of expressing thanks and gratitude to Him by worshipping
Him Alone, Saying (what means): "Let them worshipthe Lord of this
House." [Quran 106: 1-3]
That is, worship the One True Deity, Who has made their lives and
their city safe and inviolate, as in the Words of Him, the Most High,
which mean: " …I [Muhammad] have only been commanded to worship the
Lord of this city, who made it sacred and to whom [belongs] all
things. And I am commanded to be of the Muslims [i.e., those whosubmit
to Allaah]." [Quran27:91]
"Who has fed them, [saving them] from hunger…" [Meaning of the first
part of verse 4 of the chapter] That is, He is the Lord of the House
and it is He who has fed them against hunger.
"…And made them safe, [saving them] from fear." [Meaning of thesecond
part of verse 4] Meaning that He has preferred them over other
communities by granting them safety from fear, so let them then
worship Him alone, without associating any partners with Him, without
worshipping graven images or setting up equals to Him; and whoever
responds positively to this command, Allaah will grant him the best
in this life and in the Hereafter, while whoever disobeys Him will
receive neither, as Allaah the Exalted Says (what means): " And Allaah
presents an example: a city [i.e., Makkah] which was safe and secure,
its provision coming to it in abundance from every location, but it
denied the favours of Allaah. So Allaah made it taste the envelopment
of hunger and fear for what they had been doing. And there had
certainly come to them a Messenger from among themselves, but they
denied him; so punishment overtook them while they were wrongdoers."
[Quran 16: 112-113]
Asmaa' Bint Yazeed said: "I heard the Messenger of Allaah say: "Woe to
you O Quraysh! For the accustomed security of Quraysh". [Ibn Abu
