Explanatory Note

God then honours His Prophet, Muhammad, by mentioning him and his residence in Makkah, a fact which adds to the sanctity of the city, its honour and glory. This is a point of great significance in this context; for the unbelievers were violating the sanctity of the House by harassing the Prophet and the Muslims in it. But the House is sacred and the Prophet’s dwelling in its neighbourhood makes it even more so. God’s oath by this city and by the Prophet’s residence in it adds even more to its sacredness and glory, which consequently makes the unbelievers’ attitude grossly impertinent and objectionable. Their attitude becomes even more singular, considering their claims to be the custodians of the House, Ishmael’s descendants and Abraham’s followers.

[ edit ]

Its subject matter resemble those of the earliest Surahs revealed at Makkah, but it contains a pointer which indicates that it was sent down in the period when the disbelievers of Makkah had resolved to oppose the Prophet, and made it lawful for themselves to commit tyranny against him.
