and Allah said "And proclaim the pilgramage among men; they will come to thee on foot and on every kind of camel. Lean on account of Journeys through deep and distant mountain highways" Surah 22 ~ Al Hajj Part 27
quraysh - people of makkah |
Revealed in Makkah
Bismillah arak maan nira heem, Alhamdhulillahi Rabil Alamin; arak maan nira heem Liilla fi Qurayshin Lilla fihim rihlatash shitaa - i was-sayf Fai-ya buduu Rabba hazal bayt Alllazi at - amahum minjuu inw-wa aamanahum - min khawf

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful For the taming of the Quraysh For their tamming (we cause) the caravans to set forth in winter or summer So let them worship the Lord of this house Who has fed them against hunger and has made them safe from fear |
This early Makkan Surah defines how the people of Makkah were enriched by the gift of trade and security and how they were able to carry on trading through the year. Surely they ought to have adored the one true god and accepted his message.
