(سورة القريش ) - The Quraysh ( name of a tribe/qabila)
Ayats : 4
Revealed in : Makkah
THEME
This Surah is linked with Surah Al Fil (سورة الفيل ), where Allah shows how He protected their community and their city.
It is through The Rabb of the Kabah they were honored as the custodians of the Kabah.
Due to their privileged status as the custodians of kabah, no one would loot them during their travels; rather people respected them and travelled with them to protect them. It is Allah who protected them and their trade during their journeys both in summers and winters.
Kaba being the center of the pilgrimage, it bought them trade and prestige from Allah, and therefore they were rich and never went hungry.
Therefore, Allah reminds them of His favors, how He honored them, fed them and protected them from all kinds of fear.
And Allah reminds them that it is He who is the Rabb of the Kabah.
Conclusion:
Everything that we possess belongs to Allah. Our respect and honor in the society is from Allah alone. Therefore, obey Him and He will protect your honor and grace in this world (duniya) and the next (aakhirah).
