The Holy Quran 2:126 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَٰهِـۧمُ رَبِّ ٱجْعَلْ هَـٰذَا بَلَدًا ءَامِنًا وَٱرْزُقْ أَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ مَنْ ءَامَنَ مِنْهُم بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ ۖ قَالَ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَأُمَتِّعُهُۥ قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ أَضْطَرُّهُۥٓ إِلَىٰ عَذَابِ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ

Translation

(Remember) When Ibraheem said, "O my Rabb! Make this (city of Makkah) a city of safety (of peace) and feed with fruit those inhabitants who believe in Allaah and the Last Day." (Allaah accepted this prayer and made Makkah a place where no killing should take place, no plants should be uprooted and no animal hunted. Allaah also saw to it that Makkah receives food and products from the entire world.) Allaah said, "As for him who carries out kufr, I shall grant him enjoyment for a while, after which I will drive (compel) him into the punishment of the Fire (in the Aakhirah). It is the worst of places to be."

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

واذكر -أيها النبي- حين قال إبراهيم داعيًا: ربِّ اجعل «مكة» بلدًا آمنًا من الخوف، وارزق أهله من أنواع الثمرات، وخُصَّ بهذا الرزق مَن آمن منهم بالله واليوم الآخر. قال الله: ومن كفر منهم فأرزقه في الدنيا وأُمتعه متاعًا قليلا ثم أُلجئُه مرغمًا إلى عذاب النار. وبئس المرجع والمقام هذا المصير.
