About Surah Quraysh
Quraysh, named after the Prophet’s tribe, reminds the Quraysh of the security that allowed their trade caravans to travel in winter and summer, and calls them to worship the Lord of the Ka‘bah, "who has fed them against hunger and made them safe from fear". It is closely linked in theme with Al-Fil, which comes just before it.
Surah Quraysh is one of the last 10 surahs of the Quran, which many Muslims memorise first and recite in daily prayers.
