لِإِيلَافِ قُرَيْشٍ
[In gratitude] for solidarity among the Quraysh,
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 106:1
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 106:1] The Quraysh, among whom the Holy Prophet was born, was a tribe held in great esteem, as the guardians of the Ka-bah, by the Arabs. They were the descendants of prophet Ibrahim through his son Ismail. The custody of the sacred shrine of the Ka-bah enabled them to obtain covenants of security from the rulers of neighbouring countries on all sides on account of which they travelled to Syria in summer, and to Yemen in winter, to carry out their trade. Their trade caravans enriched them, united them, and drew people from distant parts to visit Makka, to bring and take from there merchandise of various kinds. This honour and advantage they owed to their position as servants of the sacred house. They owed it to Allah. It was therefore right and fitting that they should worship Allah alone and accept as true the religion of Allah, Islam, brought by the Holy Prophet. Aqa Mahdi Puya says: As stated in the commentary of Inshirah although the surahs al Fil and al Quraysh are separated by bismillahir rahmanir rahim, they are one, the latter is supplementary to the former.
