106:1. For the blessings [We have bestowed upon] Quraysh,

106:2. the blessing of their regular journeys, winter and summer,

106:3. let them worship the Lord of this House,

106:4. Who has fed them against hunger and has secured them against fear.^{1The blessings that Allah bestowed upon Quraysh were innumerable. If there was no other blessing than this, that they were enabled to travel in safety to engage in trade - in addition to the security they enjoyed as residents of the sanctuary of Makkah - it would dictate that they should worship Allah alone, associating no others with Him in worship.}

Many of the commentators said that this is connected to the preceding soorah, and what is meant is: We did what We did to the army of the elephant for the sake of Quraysh, in order to keep them safe, guard their interests and secure their regular journeys, to Yemen in the winter and to Syria in the summer, for the purpose of trade and earning.

Allah destroyed those who intended ill towards them and increased respect for the Haram and its people in the hearts of the Arabs, so that they held them in high esteem and would not want to cause any harm to them during any journey they wanted to undertake.

Therefore Allah commanded them to give thanks, saying: ﴾let them worship the Lord of this House﴿ that is, let them affirm His oneness and devote worship sincerely to Him alone.

^Who has fed them against hunger and has secured them against fear﴿. Plentiful provision and security against fear are among the greatest of worldly blessings, that require gratitude to Allah (سبحانه وتعالى).

O Allah, to You be praise and thanks for Your blessings, both visible and invisible.

Allah specifically mentions that He is the Lord of the House, by way of honouring it; otherwise He is the Lord of all things.

This is the end of the commentary on Soorat Quraysh.

All praise and thanks are for Allah, and may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon Prophet Muhammad his family, and his Companions abundantly until the Day of Judgement.
