Surah Quraysh (106)

Surah Quraysh

˹The People of˺ Quraysh • Surah 106 • 4 verses

Introduction

This Meccan chapter is viewed as a continuation of the previous one. The general idea is that the Meccan pagans must be grateful and devoted to Allah alone for saving the Ka’bah from the Army of the Elephant. Those who are unfaithful to Allah and unkind to the helpless are criticized in the next chapter.
