Al-Ankaboot • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّا جَعَلْنَا حَرَمًا ءَامِنًۭا وَيُتَخَطَّفُ ٱلنَّاسُ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْ ۚ أَفَبِٱلْبَٰطِلِ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَبِنِعْمَةِ ٱللَّهِ يَكْفُرُونَ ﴾
“Are they, then, not aware that We have set up a sanctuary secure [for those who believe in Us], the while all around them men are being carried away [by fear and despair]? Will they, then, [continue to] believe in things false and vain, and thus deny God’s blessings.”
(Have they not seen) i.e. the disbelievers of Mecca (that We have appointed a sanctuary immune (from violence)) such that they are not attacked in the Sacred Precinct, (while mankind are ravaged all around them) by their enemies? (Do they then believe in falsehood) do they believe in the devil and idols (and disbelieve in the bounty of Allah) which He gave them in the Sacred Precinct, thus rejecting Allah's divine Oneness?
