Meccanلِإِيلَٰفِ قُرَيۡشٍ
اس لیے کہ قریش کو میل دلایا
إِۦلَٰفِهِمۡ رِحۡلَةَ ٱلشِّتَآءِ وَٱلصَّيۡفِ
ان کے جاڑے اور گرمی دونوں کے کوچ میں میل دلایا (رغبت دلائی)
فَلۡيَعۡبُدُواْ رَبَّ هَٰذَا ٱلۡبَيۡتِ
تو انہیں چاہیے اس گھر کے رب کی بندگی کریں،
ٱلَّذِيٓ أَطۡعَمَهُم مِّن جُوعٖ وَءَامَنَهُم مِّنۡ خَوۡفِۭ
جس نے انہیں بھوک میں کھانا دیا، اور انہیں ایک بڑے خوف سے امان بخشا

Qurayshbenefits & Hadith references →Key point
106:3 — "Let them worship the Lord of this House."
Historical Context
A short Meccan surah commonly read as a direct continuation of Surah Al-Fil — reminding Quraysh that the very security which let their seasonal trade caravans (to Yemen in winter, to the Levant in summer) continue uninterrupted was itself tied to the Kaaba's protection described in the preceding surah, and instructing gratitude in the form of worship owed to its Lord specifically.
Main Themes
Trade security as a specific blessing
Names the Quraysh's economic lifeline directly — their safe seasonal caravans — as something to recognize and be grateful for, not simply assume as a given.
Worship owed in direct response
The gratitude called for isn't vague; it's directed specifically at "the Lord of this House" — tying economic security back to the Kaaba Quraysh themselves were custodians of.
