[2] 1.
For the composing a
of the Quraish [tribe, there are reasons]; [Then God – be glorified – described the reasons for such
unity and friendship, and He said:] [3] 2.
[The reason for] their composing is the [two trading] caravan-journeys in
winter and in summer. b [4] 3.
So they should worship the Lord of this House [: the Ka'aba
at Mecca.] [5] 4.
Who has fed them against hunger, [6] 5.
And has secured them, relieving them from all fear [from the enemy.]c |
1 a It means the friendship and unity. 2 b It means: These two caravan-journeys for trading were the
reason for the composing of the tribe of Quraish; for there was a caravan
journey in summer to Levant for trading, and another caravan-journey in
winter to Yemen for trading also; and by means of this, they gained their
means of livelihood. In addition, they were secure in Mecca, for they were the
guardians of the House [of God] so that none may attack them. 5 c That was because Abraha
terrified them when he came with his army to Mecca and intended to demolish
the Ka’aba, but God sent against them the birds:
the black ravens to shoot them with stones, and He dispersed their host, and
by this way the people of Mecca were relieved from fear, and none
transgressed on them afterwards. |
