Why Was Surah Quraish Revealed (Asbab Al-Nuzul)?
As the protectors of the Ka’bah, the Quraysh held a special place, as keeping them safe was the same as keeping the holy Ka’bah safe. This was clear when God Himself stopped Abraha Al-Habashi’s army, which wanted to destroy the Ka’bah, as told in Surah Al-Fil. This showed the Quraysh that God was watching over them.
Also, the Quraysh’s wealth depended on their trade caravans, which traveled through dangerous lands to Yemen in winter and Syria in summer. These trips put them at risk of hunger and theft. Knowing this, God promised them safety, ensuring their trade went well and Mecca stayed rich.
After giving them these gifts, God reminds them of His kindness in the first two verses of Surah Quraysh and tells them to worship only Him. As the Lord of the Ka’bah and the one who keeps them safe and fed, He is the only one they should worship.
The last verse of the Surah is a strong reminder of God’s ongoing gifts. It says that they should only worship Him because He is the one who protects them from hunger and fear, making sure they are healthy and happy.
