Hence, when travelling from one place to another, people were under the constant fear of being attacked by their enemies or waylaid by robbers.<\/p>\n<p>However, as far as the tribe of the Quraish was concerned, they were afforded the most respect from all the clans and tribes residing in Arabia on account of their lofty position of being the custodians of the Ka\u2019bah Shareef. People held the Ka\u2019bah Shareef and the custodians of the Ka\u2019bah Shareef in very high esteem and respect. Therefore, people did not interfere with the trade caravans of the Quraish and allowed them to move freely and safely at a time when other caravans were being hijacked, robbed and looted. Hence, their caravans used to move freely to Yemen in winter, and to Syria in summer, without experiencing any fear, returning with all types of produce, food supplies and other necessities which the people of Makkah Mukarramah required.<\/p>\n<p>In essence, the Ka\u2019bah Shareef was the main cause for the security of the Quraish and their economic prosperity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" dir=\"RTL\" style=\"text-align: center; font-family: usmaan_taha; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 38px;\"><span id=\"106-1\" class=\"aya selected\">\u0644\u0650\u0625\u0650\u064a\u0644\u0641\u0650 \u0642\u064f\u0631\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0634\u064d <span class=\"ayaNumber\">\u200e\ufd3f\u0661\ufd3e\u200f \u0627\u0650<\/span><\/span><span id=\"106-2\" class=\"aya\">\u0644\u0670\u0641\u0650\u0647\u0650\u0645\u0652 \u0631\u0650\u062d\u0652\u0644\u064e\u0629\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0651\u0650\u062a\u064e\u0627\u0653\u0621\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0635\u0651\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0641\u0650 <span class=\"ayaNumber\">\u200e\ufd3f\u0662\ufd3e\u200f<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>For the safety of the Quraish, the safety which they enjoy in their journeys in the winter months and the summer months.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In this surah, Allah Ta\u2018ala reminds the Quraish of these two special favours of Allah Ta\u2018ala upon them; the bounty of safety and the bounty of prosperity. After informing them of these two bounties, Allah Ta\u2018ala commands them that they should be obedient to Him and should not worship anyone besides Him.<\/p>\n<p>From this, we also understand that the Quraish have been blessed with an additional honour and respect by Allah Ta\u2019ala compared to others. It is reported in the Hadith that Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) said, \u201cFrom the children of Hazrat Ismaa\u2018eel (\u2018alaihis salaam), Allah Ta\u2019ala chose the Banu Kinaanah, and from Banu Kinaanah, Allah Ta\u2019ala chose the Quraish, and from the Quraish, Allah Ta\u2019ala chose the Banu Haashim, and from the Banu Haashim, Allah Ta\u2019ala chose me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the Quraish have been bestowed with great honour and respect by Allah Ta\u2019ala Himself. Generally, this honour and respect is acquired through the divine decision of Allah Ta\u2019ala. One cannot ask the question, \u201cWhy was the Quraish granted a higher and more lofty position compared to others?\u201d For this is the grace of Allah Ta\u2019ala, and He grants His grace to whomsoever He wishes.<\/p>\n<p>However, the apparent reason for the Quraish being granted this lofty position compared to others is that they possessed many great and sublime qualities such as honesty, showing appreciation and gratitude, taking care of people and assisting the weak and oppressed. These noble qualities and praiseworthy values were common among the Quraish. Therefore, Allah Ta\u2019ala had selected them to be the custodians of His house.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" dir=\"RTL\" style=\"text-align: center; font-family: usmaan_taha; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 38px;\"><span id=\"106-3\" class=\"aya\">\u0641\u064e\u0644\u0652\u064a\u064e\u0639\u0652\u0628\u064f\u062f\u064f\u0648\u0627\u06df \u0631\u064e\u0628\u0651\u064e \u0647\u0670\u0630\u064e\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0628\u064e\u064a\u0652\u062a\u0650 <span class=\"ayaNumber\">\u200e\ufd3f\u0663\ufd3e\u200f<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<span id=\"106-4\" class=\"aya\">\u0627\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0630\u0650\u0649\u0653 \u0623\u064e\u0637\u0652\u0639\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0645 \u0645\u0651\u0650\u0646 \u062c\u064f\u0648\u0652\u0639\u064d \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0670\u0645\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0645\u0651\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u062e\u064e\u0648\u0652\u0641\u0650\u06ed <span class=\"ayaNumber\">\u200e\ufd3f\u0664\ufd3e\u200f<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Let them worship the Rabb of the Sacred House (the Ka\u2019bah), the One who had provided food for them against their hunger and safety against fear.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In this surah, Allah Ta\u2019ala shows the ummah of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) the way to acquire His special grace.<\/p>\n<p>The way to acquire the special grace of Allah Ta\u2018ala is to show obedience to Allah Ta\u2019ala and be grateful to Him.
