106: Quraysh
These 4 Meccan verses were revealed
after The Figtree 95. An alternate title is
Winter, taken from v.2. This message
shows us that God is the Source of our
relative security and commercial prosperity.
The Quraysh were the Prophet's own clan, who at first opposed his mission
and felt they were the only aristocrats fit to live in Mecca. Later members
of
this family became his successors or caliphs in the great cities of Damascus
and
Baghdad.
