The Favor of Softened Hearts
Allah miraculously protected the Quraysh from an enormous army, softening their hearts towards Him and making them more receptive to worshiping Him. The favor of their softened hearts should naturally lead them to becoming devout slaves of Allah, the Lord of the Ka'bah.
The Remarkable Transformation of the Quraysh
Allah's protection and destruction of their enemy, coupled with the favor of trading caravans in all seasons, amazes the Quraysh. Despite these blessings, they persist in abandoning the worship of Allah, the very purpose for which the Ka'bah was built.
The Astonishment of Allah
Allah expresses amazement at the Quraysh for neglecting His worship, even though He has showered them with numerous favors. The Quraysh's abandonment of the true Lord in favor of worldly pursuits is indeed shocking.
The Softening of Hearts as a Divine Mercy
The purpose of Allah bestowing the convenience of travel and ensuring their safety was to soften the hearts of the Quraysh. Their hearts should be filled with gratitude and devotion, acknowledging Allah's blessings.
