Why the surah was named Quraish?

The name of the Quraish surah is derived from the name of the Quraish tribe that was mentioned in the first verse.

They were the most important tribe among the tribes of the Arabian Peninsula, their race expanded for the prophet of Allah Ismael, peace be upon him.

Why was surah Quraish revealed?

Quraish tribe was the most important tribe in the Arabian Peninsula, it was mentioned in the correct Hadith by the authority of the Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him that there were seven things that Allah granted to Quraish, and He did not give to others of mankind, they worship Allah for ten years no one unless they were worshiping Allah, Caliphate, prophecy, phlebotomy cupping, and watering the pilgrims are among them.

Surah Quresh was revealed to remind Quraish of all gifts That he bestowed upon them, they knew those gifts and became familiar with them, but that did not prevent them from worshiping other gods.

The Arabian Peninsula was not a fertile land and couldn’t be cultivated. They also weren’t famous with industry that they could be special in, but Allah granted them the dignity and great place among Arabs due to their neighborhood of Sacred Place, the destination of the pilgrims”.

The safe and guarding that they were granted weren’t only during their settling in Mecca but also during their trips, that era Arabs were full of robberies and looting, but the great place that Quraish had guaranteed their safety from looting attacks and starving if their trading convoys to Yemen and Levant were robbed.

  • Mecca, that place with no agriculture or industry, how it could be that pilgrim’s destination, and how it could be a safe place with high dignity and glory? What are those miracles and gifts that are particularly granted for them to be?
  • Here, Allah reminded Quraish of their fears, what happened in the recent past before the Holy birth of Muhammad, peace be upon him, when Abraha Al Ashram and his enormous Elephant Army were About to Attack Al Kaaba, and Allah alone, not their created Idols, preserved them.
  • Their fears of starving and poverty, how could Quraish be one of the wealthy tribes among the Arabian tribes, although they didn’t have agriculture or industry.
  • Their winter and summer trips are preserved, although the looting and robberies were spread.
  • Quraish surah was revealed to remind Quraish and any other person who forgot the gifts of god to return-seeking his pleasing and forgiveness and be thankful for his gifts.

Although the Arabian Peninsula was a barren land with no plant nor water, Quraish were blessed with the expanded gifts of safety and sustenance not only while settling but also through traveling here and there.

But the ignorance of the human makes him forget to be thankful to his creator, not only forget, but he could worship a stone idol rather than the Almighty God.

Here in Quraish Surah,  Allah reminded Quraish of the blessings that he Granted To them and commanded them to return to worship the only God worthy to be worshiped.
