SÛRAH CVI

Ash-Shitâ is so called from a word occurring in verse 2. It is also often called Qureysh.

A very early Meccan Sûrah.


"WINTER" OR "QUREYSH"

Revealed at Mecca

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

1 For the taming[1] of Qureysh
2 For their taming (We cause) the caravans to set forth in winter and summer.
3 So let them worship the Lord of this House,
4 Who hath fed them against hunger
5 And hath made them safe from fear.

  1. i.e. "civilising."
