Q9: Recite and explain Surat Quraysh.

Answer: Surat Quraysh and its Interpretation

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

{For the accustomed security of Quraysh, secure in their winter and summer journeys. Let them worship the Lord of this [Sacred] House, Who fed them against hunger and made them secure against fear.} [Surat Quraysh: 1-4]

Interpretation

1. {لِإِيلَٰفِ قُرَيۡشٍ} : It is referring to the winter and summer journeys that they were familiar with.

2. {إِۦلَٰفِهِمۡ رِحۡلَةَ ٱلشِّتَآءِ وَٱلصَّيۡفِ} : They were secure in their winter journey to Yemen and in their summer journey to the Levant.

3. {فَلۡيَعۡبُدُواْ رَبَّ هَٰذَا ٱلۡبَيۡتِ} : Let them worship Allah, the Lord of this Sacred House, alone. He is the One Who facilitated that journey for them; so, let them not associate any partners with Him.

4. {ٱلَّذِيٓ أَطۡعَمَهُم مِّن جُوعٖ وَءَامَنَهُم مِّنۡ خَوۡفِۭ} : Who fed them against hunger and made them secure against fear by making the Arabs revering Al-Haram (the Sacred Precinct) and its people.
