In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. 1. For the protection of the Quraish
-- (Footnote
# 2802)
The first verse of this chapter is connected with the last chapter, the significance being that the Divine protection of the Kabah and the destruction of its enemies was a special favour granted to the Quraish, for it led to their protection. It is a fact that, as stated in the last chapter, being guardians of the Kabah, they were respected when they set out on their journeys, while within the sacred territory they enjoyed an unparalleled security (Back to the Translation). Footnote # 2803: The protection mentioned in the last note was a special use to them in their journeys northward to Syria and southward to Yemen, the former of which was undertaken in the summer and the latter in winter, to carry on their trade (Back to the Translation). Footnote # 2804: Feeding against hunger and granting security against fear were the two special favours conferred on the Quraish through the sacredness of the Kabah, because the pilgrimage gave a special impetus to their trade and the necessaries of life were brought to their very doors, while they were totally secure from all fear of attack, to which the other Arab tribes were constantly exposed (Back to the Translation). <<Previous Chapter
