The Example of Makkah

This example refers to the people of Makkah, which had been secure, peaceful and stable, a secure sanctuary while men were being snatched away from everywhere outside of it. Whoever entered Makkah, he was safe, and he had no need to fear, as Allah said:

وَقَالُواْ إِن نَّتَّبِعِ

Read in Context

Chapter 16, Page 280, Juz 14

111. On the Day when every soul will come pleading for itself, every soul will be paid in full for all its actions- they will not be wronged. 112. God presents the example of a town that was secure and at ease, with provisions coming to it abundantly from all places. Then it became ungrateful for God’s blessings, so God afflicted it with the garment of famine and fear, for what its people had done. 113. A messenger who was one of them came to them, but they called him a liar. So punishment overwhelmed them in the midst of their evildoing. 114. So eat of the good and lawful things God has provided for you and be thankful for His blessings, if it is Him that you worship. 115. He has forbidden you only these things: carrion, blood, pig’s meat, and animals over which any name other than God’s has been invoked. But if anyone is forced by hunger, not desiring it nor exceeding their immediate need, God is forgiving and merciful. 116. Do not say falsely, ‘This is lawful and that is forbidden,’ inventing a lie about God: those who invent lies about God will not prosper- 117. they may have a little enjoyment, but painful punishment awaits them. 118. [Prophet], We forbade the Jews what We told you about. We did not wrong them; they wronged themselves. 119. But towards those who do wrong out of ignorance, and afterwards repent and make amends, your Lord is most forgiving and merciful.

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
