The verses:
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 this
House, Who has fed them, [saving them] 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 Quranic chapter 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 their community 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
because of their privileged status as the custodians of the Sacred House
of Allaah, 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 worship the 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 who submit to Allaah]."[Quran27]
"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 the second 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 Haatim] | |
