لِإِيلَٰفِ قُرَيۡشٍ
For the accustomed security of the Quraysh—
“[He did this] to make the Quraysh feel secure,”
This surah follows immediately after Surah Al-Fil, and the connection between them is profound. While the structure is brief, we can examine it in two distinct parts.
The first part details what Allah does for the people of Quraysh—the specific favors He grants them for their convenience and prosperity.
The opening establishes that everything being described is connected to a divine purpose.
Allah is explaining why He protected this tribe, why He granted them these unique privileges among all the Arabian tribes.
