Makkah – A City of Peace (L-153)

وَإِذ قالَ إِبراهيمُ رَبِّ اجعَل هٰذا بَلَدًا آمِنًا وَارزُق أَهلَهُ مِنَ الثَّمَراتِ مَن آمَنَ مِنهُم بِاللَّهِ وَاليَومِ الآخِرِ ۖ قالَ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَأُمَتِّعُهُ قَليلًا ثُمَّ أَضطَرُّهُ إِلىٰ عَذابِ النّارِ ۖ وَبِئسَ المَصيرُ126.

126.  Wa ‘iz qaala ‘Ibraahiimu Rabbij-‘al haazaa Baladan ‘Aaminanw – warzuq ‘ahlahuu minas-samaraati man ‘aamana minhum, Billaahi wal-Yawmil- ‘Aakhir.  Qaala wa man-kafara fa-‘umatti-‘uhuu qaliilan- summa ‘aztarruhuuu  ‘ilaa  ‘azaabin-Naar. Wa bi’-sal-masiir.

126.  When Abraham said, “O My Lord, make this a peaceful land, and provide its people with fruits—whoever of them believes in God and the Last Day.” He said, “And whoever disbelieves, I will give him a little enjoyment, then I will consign him to the punishment of the Fire; how miserable the destiny!”

 When Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him) completed the construction work of the House of God, Ka’bah (the Square Building), then He (Peace be upon him) prayed in the Court of God as under:

1.   Make this (Building, Its Township and Its Surroundings) a Region of Security. 

2.   Bestow to its people fruits, such of them as they believe in God and the Last Day.

His both supplications were accepted. So the House of God (the Square Building) and its all surrounding area, which has been included in Haram, (killing any individual or hunting any living creature is totally forbidden). Although the entire land is stony and sandy but fresh and dry fruits, vegetables and grains are available here every time abundantly.

Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him) was told that the cruel and evildoers will be disappointed from the dignity of Leadership. He (Peace be upon him) remembered this order and at the time of supplication for bestowing grains and fruit, prayed only for the Believers. God commanded, “Religious Leadership is specified only for the Believers and the Obedient. However, the disbelievers and Infidels will also be not forfeited from worldly lives. But they will get these things for a short time (only during their lifetime). After death, on the Day of Resurrection; they will be thrown into the Fire of the Hell, which is the worst abode, as punishment of their disobedience. https://youtu.be/vPnElYVrISU
