Tafseer of Sūrah Al-Balad 90- (1–7) - When Makkah Was No Longer Safe

Surah Al-Balad begins with a shocking refusal: Allah does not swear by Makkah while His Messenger ﷺ is being threatened within it. What does that reveal about sacred places corrupted by tyranny? This powerful discussion tears into the arrogance of those who spend wealth to fight the truth, thinking no one sees them and no one can overcome them. From Quraysh to modern empires, the same delusion repeats — but the Qur’an exposes it with terrifying clarity.
