And Allah puts forward the example of a township (Makkah). that dwelt secure and well content; its provision coming to it in abundance from every place. but it (its people) denied the Favours of Allah (with ungratefulness). So Allah made it taste the extreme of hunger (famine) and fear. because of that (evil. i.e. denying Prophet Muhammad ) which they (its people) used to do . |

Allah sets forth a Parable: a city enjoying security and quiet, abundantly supplied with sustenance from every place: Yet was it ungrateful for the favours of Allah: so Allah made it taste of hunger and terror (in extremes) (closing in on it) like a garment (from every side), because of the (evil) which (its people) wrought. |
