" SURAH AL MAIDAH : 97 "

Regarding the Ka’bah, Allah (ﷻ) mentions in the Quran in Surah Al-Ma’idah:

 

جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْكَعْبَةَ ٱلْبَيْتَ ٱلْحَرَامَ قِيَٰمًا لِّلنَّاسِ وَٱلشَّهْرَ ٱلْحَرَامَ وَٱلْهَدْىَ وَٱلْقَلَٰٓئِدَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِتَعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

 

Allah has made the Ka’bah—the Sacred House—a sanctuary of well-being for all people, along with the sacred months, the sacrificial animals, and the ˹offerings decorated with˺ garlands. All this so you may know that Allah knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth, and that He has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of everything.

 

[Surah Al Maidah :97]

 

📁 Tafseer Al-Mukhtashar / Markaz Tafseer Riyadh, under the supervision of Shaykh Dr. Salih bin Abdullah bin Humaid (Imam of Masjid Al Haram Makkah )

 

Allah made the Ka'bah, the holy house, the staple of human life.

 

The essence of life is the basis for upholding the interests of human religion, such as prayer, hajj, and umrah.

 

And also become a support for their worldly interests with the guarantee of security and the availability of various kinds of fruits and crops from various directions.

 

And Allah has also made the forbidden months (Dhul'qadah, Dzulhijjah, Muharam, and Rajab) a staple of life for them by guaranteeing them that in those months they are safe from enemy attacks.

 

Allah made hadyu and qalā`id animals marked that the animals were herded to the forbidden land as life support for them by providing security guarantees for their owners from interference from any party.

 

The gift that Allah has given you is meant to let you know that Allah knows what is in the heavens and what is on the earth. And know that Allah is Knower of all things.

 

Because the determination of the provisions of the Shari'a - which will bring benefits to you and prevent you from harm before it happens - it shows that Allah knows what is best for His servants.

 

📁 Zubdatut Tafseer Min Fathil Qadir / Shaykh Dr. Muhammad Sulaiman Al Asyqar, Mudarris Interpretation of the Islamic University of Madinah

 

قِيٰمًا لِّلنَّاسِ

 

(As a center (worship) for humans)

 

Namely as a center for their livelihood and worship, which can improve their worldly and religious affairs.

 

In it people who are afraid will feel safe, those who are weak will get help, those who trade will make a profit, and those who worship will worship sincerely ( khusho )

 

وَالشَّهْرَ الْحَرَامَ

 

(And (and so) the Haram month)

 

Namely the months of Dhulqa'dah, zulhijjah, Muharram, and Rajab in which they are not allowed to demand qisas, fight enemies, and violate honor.

So with this situation it becomes the center of goodness for humans.

 

وَالْهَدْىَ وَالْقَلٰٓئِدَ ۚ

 

(And hadyu and qalaid)

 

That is, if they wrap their Hadyu animal, it will be known as a person who is performing Hajj or Umrah so that he is not disturbed by anyone, and this is an ease for their life and travel.
