Al-Ankaboot (The Spider)

67. “Have they not seen that We have appointed a sanctuary secure, while the people are snatched away from all around them? Will they still believe in the falsehood and disbelieve in the bounty of Allah?”

One of the ways of inviting people to Allah is attracting their attention unto the divine bounties.

This verse says:

“Have they not seen that We have appointed a sanctuary secure, while the people are snatched away from all around them?…”

Arabs were in insecurity then, but in spite of that insecure environment, He caused Mecca to be a sanctuary secure, then how can He not protect them against their enemies? And their enemies were afraid of these weak people before Allah, the Great, the Mighty.

The verse continues saying:

“…Will they still believe in the falsehood and disbelieve in the bounty of Allah?”

Shortly speaking, the Lord Who is able to cause a small piece of land to be secure inside a vast area of the earth where a group of half wild people used to live, how can He not protect the faithful people amongst some pagans and unbelievers?
