Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: In the saying of Allah, Glorious and Exalted,[Quraysh 106:1] what is the meaning of “for the accustomedness”?
Answer:
[Quraysh 106:1-2], that Quraysh, in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, had two commercial journeys: a journey in the winter to Yemen because it is warm, and a journey in the summer to Sham because it is cold, for the sake of trade. This is among the blessings of Allah upon them, and Allah mentioned it to them. So He said, [Quraysh 106:3-4] This is the blessing of Allah upon them, so they must thank Allah and single out Allah for worship.
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: In the saying of Allah, Glorious and Exalted,
For the accustomed security of the Quraysh -
لِإِيلَافِ قُرَيْشٍAnswer:
(1) For the accustomed security of the Quraysh - (2) Their accustomed security [in] the caravan of winter and summer -
لِإِيلَافِ قُرَيْشٍ إِيلَافِهِمْ رِحْلَةَ الشِّتَاءِ وَالصَّيْفِ(3) Let them worship the Lord of this House, (4) Who has fed them, [saving them] from hunger and made them safe, [saving them] from fear.
فَلْيَعْبُدُوا رَبَّ هَٰذَا الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَهُم مِّن جُوعٍ وَآمَنَهُم مِّنْ خَوْفٍ
