106:1
لِإِيلَٰفِ قُرَيْشٍ﴿١﴾
SO THAT the Quraysh might remain secure,1
ഖുറൈശികൾ സുരക്ഷിതരായി തുടരുന്നതിനുവേണ്ടി,
106:2
إِۦلَٰفِهِمْ رِحْلَةَ ٱلشِّتَآءِ وَٱلصَّيْفِ﴿٢﴾
secure in their winter and summer journeys,2
തങ്ങളുടെ ശീതകാല-ഉഷ്ണകാല യാത്രകളിൽ അവർ സുരക്ഷിതരായിരിക്കുന്നതിനും (വേണ്ടി);
106:3
فَلْيَعْبُدُوا۟ رَبَّ هَٰذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ﴿٣﴾
Let them, therefore, worship the Sustainer of this Temple;3
അതിനാൽ, ഈ മന്ദിരത്തിന്റെ നാഥനെ അവർ വണങ്ങട്ടെ;
106:4
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْعَمَهُم مِّن جُوعٍۢ وَءَامَنَهُم مِّنْ خَوْفٍۭ﴿٤﴾
who has given them food against hunger, and made them safe from danger.4
അവർക്ക് വിശപ്പിനെതിരെ ആഹാരം നൽകുകയും, ആപത്തിൽ നിന്ന് അവർക്ക് സുരക്ഷിതത്വം നൽകുകയും ചെയ്തവൻ.
Footnotes by Muhammad Asad
- 1. Lit., "for the safeguarding of the Quraysh", i.e., as the custodians of the Kabah and the tribe in the midst of which the Last Prophet, Muhammad, was to appear. Thus, the "security of the Quraysh" is a metonym for the security of the Kabah, the focal point of the Faith based on the concept of God's oneness, for the sake of which the army of Abrahah was destroyed (see introductory note as well as preceding surah).
- 2. I.e., the two annual trade caravans - to the Yemen in winter and to Syria in summer - on which the prosperity of Mecca depended.
- 3. I.e., the Kabah (see note 102 on 2:125).
- 4. Cf. Abraham's prayer, "O my Sustainer! Make this a land secure, and grant its people fruitful sustenance" (2:126).
