Sūrat al-Quraysh is surah number 106 in the existing order of the Quran. It was revealed in Mecca in the second year after the declaration of the Prophet’s call. It comprises four verses and is said to be the twenty-ninth chapter to have been revealed, after Sūrat al-Tīn (95) and before Sūrat al-Qāriʿah (101).
In this surah, God mentions how He has favoured the tribe of Quraysh through the presence of the Kaaba in Mecca, which was a source of blessing for them in terms of the solidarity it provided for their winter and summer trade journeys. They are thus called to worship the Lord of the Kaaba in recognition of this blessing that secured their safety and well-being.
The content of this surah is closely linked to that of the previous surah, Sūrat al-Fīl (105). This, together with a few supporting hadiths, has led a number of exegetes to conclude that they are in fact one single surah, which would then have some jurisprudential implications in that both of them must be recited together as one complete surah in the obligatory prayers. A similar discussion can be found with regards to Sūrat al-Ḍuḥā (93) and Sūrat al-Sharḥ (94).
