3. So let them worship the Lord of this House (the Ka‘bah) [2],
[2] In ﴿لاِيْلاَفِ﴾, the initial "Lam" is for reasoning, meaning that since Allah had gathered the scattered individuals of Quraysh in one place in Makkah, created affection among them, and they were familiar with one another. Then the custodianship of the Ka'bah was also entrusted to them. Furthermore, they were made accustomed to the trade journeys of winter and summer. Therefore, they should worship the Owner of this House, that is, the Ka'bah. Because whatever social, political, civilizational, and commercial benefits the Quraysh were obtaining, they were obtaining them due to this Ka'bah. Therefore, they should worship only the One Lord who is the Owner of this House, and not worship other deities or those three hundred and sixty idols.
