TAFSEER OF SUURAH AL-QURAYSH (Qur’an 106), WITH CONTEXT, COMMENTARY, MEANINGS, and PRACTICAL LESSONS WE CAN APPLY IN OUR DAILY LIFE.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-ithnayn, 16th day of Rajab, 1447AH, Momday, 5th January, 2026.  BismilLah. 

Let's begin our studies of Suuratul Quraysh (Qur’an 106). 

HISTORICAL CONTEXT.

This suurah is directly connected to Suurah Al-Fīl (Qur'an 105). After ALLAH Azzawajal had destroyed Abraha and the army of the elephant, the Quraysh gained greater respect and safety among Arab tribes.

Quraysh benefited from trade caravans: Winter → Yemen, Summer → Syria (Shām). Safety from attack. Steady food supply in a barren land

👉 ALLAH Azzawajal reminds them: These blessings did not come from idols or effort alone, they came from ALLAH Azzawajal.

VERSE-BY-VERSE TAFSEER & COMMENTARY:

لِإِيلَافِ قُرَيْشٍ

1. “For the protection and unity of Quraysh” Ilāf means: Familiarity, Safety, Stability, Unity. ALLAH Azzawajal granted Quraysh:

Political influence, Social unity

Protection from enemies.

📌 Lesson: Stability itself is a blessing from ALLAH Azzawajal.

2. “Their security in the journeys of winter and summer”

إِيلَافِهِمْ رِحْلَةَ الشِّتَاءِ وَالصَّيْفِ

Trade was the backbone of Quraysh’s economy. Others feared robbery and tribal attacks. Quraysh travelled safely.

This security existed before modern law or armies.

📌 Lesson: Sustained income and safe livelihood come from ALLAH Azzawajal, not just planning but on condition that we are united in obedience to ALLAH Azzawajal and HIS Messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam else the kuffar will keep humiliating us. To be continued tomorrow in Shaa ALLAH. May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

Let's continue with our studies of Suuratul Quraysh (Qur’an 106) from yesterday's reminder. 

فَلْيَعْبُدُوا رَبَّ هَٰذَا الْبَيْتِ

“So let them worship the Lord of this House”

This House = The Ka‘bah

ALLAH Azzawajal reminds them:

You guard the Ka‘bah, but ALLAH is its true Lord. Worship must be directed only to HIM. 

📌 Message: Gratitude is proven through worship, not words.

الَّذِي أَطْعَمَهُم مِّن جُوعٍ وَآمَنَهُم مِّنْ خَوْفٍ

“Who fed them against hunger and secured them from fear”

Two greatest human needs are:

Food (physical survival), Security (emotional peace)

ALLAH Azzawajal mentions:

Hunger first → survival

Fear second → peace of heart.

📌 Lesson: When these are present, one must never forget ALLAH Azzawajal. To be continued tomorrow with some practical Lessons for Our Daily Life from this suurah. May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Arba'a, 18th day of Rajab, 1447AH, Wednesday, 7th January, 2026. PRACTICAL LESSONS FOR OUR DAILY LIFE FROM SUURAH AL-QURAYSH, QUR’AN 106. BismilLah. 

Let's conclude on our studies of suuratul Quraysh with some practical Lessons for Our Daily Life as follows;

1️⃣ Let's recognise ALLAH Azzawajal in our daily provisions such as Income, Job security, Health, Family safety

🛑 Do not attribute blessings only to effort or connections.

2️⃣ Gratitude requires action. True shukr (appreciation/Thanks) includes: Salah, Obedience, Avoiding sin, Helping others. Etc.

📖 ALLAH Azzawajal says “If you are grateful, I will surely increase you…” (Qur’an 14:7). 

3️⃣ Safety is a forgotten blessing.

Many only remember ALLAH Azzawajal in danger. This suurah teaches us to remember ALLAH Azzawajal in comfort.

4️⃣ Worship the Giver, not the gift.

Quraysh enjoyed trade, wealth, and status. But ALLAH Azzawajal asked: “Worship ME alone.” 

5️⃣ Unity attracts blessings.

Quraysh were united → ALLAH Azzawajal blessed them. Division leads to weakness as we are witnessing today. 

Let's note that, ALLAH Azzawajal feeds us when others go hungry,

and keeps us safe while others live in fear, so HE Azzawajal deserves our sincere worship, obedience, and gratitude. May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-khamis, 19th day of Rajab, 1447AH, Thursday, 8th January, 2026. TAFSEER OF QUR’AN 105, SUURAH AL-FIL, WITH CONTEXT, COMMENTARY, MEANINGS, and PRACTICAL LESSONS WE CAN APPLY IN OUR DAILY LIFE. BismilLah. 

This suurah is about ALLAH'S absolute power and HIS protection of the Sacred House (the Kaabah).

It reminds the Quraysh, and all of humanity, that victory, protection, and honor come only from ALLAH Azzawajal, not from power, weapons, or numbers.

Historical Context: The suurah refers to a well-known historical event that occurred shortly before the birth of our beloved Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam. 

Abraha, the Christian governor of Yemen under the Abyssinian king, built a grand church to divert Arab pilgrimage away from the Kaabah.

When his plan failed, he marched towards Makkah with a powerful army including elephants to destroy the Kaabah. The Quraysh were helpless and had no army to resist.

ALLAH Azzawajal intervened directly, sending flocks of birds that dropped small stones, destroying the army completely.

This event is known as “The Year of the Elephant”.

Verse-by-Verse Tafseer and Commentary:

Verse 1

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ

“Have you not seen how your LORD, ALLAH Azzawajal dealt with the companions of the elephant?”

This is a rhetorical question, meant to awaken reflection.

“Have you not seen” means “Have you not heard and understood clearly?” ALLAH Azzawajal attributes the event directly to HIS Lordship and control, not to chance or nature.

🔹 Lesson: ALLAH Azzawajal reminds people of known events to strengthen faith and certainty.

Verse 2

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ

“Did HE not make their plan go astray?” Abraha’s plan was carefully calculated, but ALLAH Azzawajal rendered it useless. No matter how powerful a plan seems, ALLAH Azzawajal can nullify it instantly.

🔹 Lesson: Human plotting fails when it opposes ALLAH’S will. To be continued tomorrow in Shaa ALLAH. May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

Alhamdulillah for granting us the opportunity to be part of this blessed day of the week. Let's continue from yesterday's reminder;

Verse 3

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ

“And HE sent against them birds in flocks.” The birds were small and seemingly insignificant. ALLAH Azzawajal chose unexpected means to defeat a mighty army.

🔹 Lesson: ALLAH Azzawajal does not need large forces to achieve HIS decree.

Verse 4

تَرْمِيهِمْ بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ

“Striking them with stones of baked clay.” Each bird carried stones that precisely struck their targets. The punishment was accurate, deliberate, and decisive.

🔹 Lesson: ALLAH’S punishment is not random; it is exact and just.

Verse 5

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍ

“And HE made them like eaten straw.” The once mighty army was reduced to worthless debris, like crops chewed and discarded by animals. A powerful ending that emphasizes humiliation after arrogance.

🔹 Lesson: Arrogance leads to destruction.

To be continued tomorrow with some practical Lessons for Our Daily Life. May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

PRACTICAL LESSONS FROM SUURAH AL-FIL FOR OUR DAILY LIFE. BismilLah. 

Let's continue on our studies of suuratul Fil, Qur'an 105 with some practical Lessons below;

1. Trust ALLAH Azzawajal in Difficult Situations

When problems feel overwhelming, remember: If ALLAH Azzawajal defeated an army with birds, HE can solve your problems too.

2. Avoid Arrogance and Pride.

Success should lead to humility, not self-glorification.

3. Do Not Fear the Power of Oppressors. Oppression may appear strong, but ALLAH’S justice always prevails.

4. Protect What is Sacred. This includes: Salah, Family, responsibilities, Trusts (Amaanah),

Islamic values. ALLAH Azzawajal honors those who honor what is sacred.

5. Reflect on History. Learning from past events strengthens Eemaan and awareness of ALLAH’S power.

6. Always remember that, When ALLAH Azzawajal is with you, no enemy can defeat you. And when ALLAH Azzawajal withdraws HIS support, no power can save you.

May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
