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 SAW) which they (its people) used to do.
Na Mwenyezi Mungu amepiga mfano wa mji ulio kuwa na amani na utulivu, riziki yake ikiufikia kwa nafasi kutoka kila mahali. Lakini ukazikufuru neema za Mwenyezi Mungu; kwa hivyo Mwenyezi Mungu akauvika vazi la njaa na khofu kwa sababu ya yale waliyo kuwa wakiyafanya.
