Transliteration:( Wa haazal balad-il ameen )
3. Of the sacred city of Makkah because things like figs etc. were not found in Makkah. Holy Makkah was in front, there the pronoun "this" is not used but it is used here.
Holy Makkah was in front, there the pronoun "this" is not used but it is used here. In common cities needs of specific areas become fulfilled. Currency and people of all countries are found here. Therefore it is a large city. By "AMIEN" is meant peaceful or safe, as here not only human beings but also hunting animals, wild plants and trees are safe. Or, it could mean full of trust because here the Holy Prophet lived in it in the capacity of trust for some time, thereafter he went to establish the city of Madina. By calling it security there is a hint towards it that due to Makkah the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم become worthy of taking oath on it. Also, besides the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم other sacred places like the Holy Ka'bah, Arafaat, Mina, etc. are all found in it.
It should I be remembered that in the Holy City of Makkah the Holy Prophet spoke to Allah Almighty by receiving the Holy Quran, was blessed with Me'raj, in the same way as Hazrat Musa spoke to Allah Almighty at Mount Sinai. For this reason Makkah is mentioned after Mount Sinai. According to the ,way of life of the Sufi sages the city of peace and security is the blessed and pure heart of the Holy Prophet which draws devotees to the vision of the beloved where everybody's needs are being fulfilled, where every type of bounties of Allah Almighty are obtained provided the person brings the currency of devotion and love. Or, by it is meant Hazrat Alli Murtaza who is the gate to the city of knowledge through whom the saints will receive the wares of sainthood until the Day of Judgement. It should be remembered that a thing is manufactured in the factories of nature but they are obtained from the market places.
