Quraysh 106:3
Quraysh · Meccan · Juz 30 · Page 602
The Lord of This House
فَلۡيَعۡبُدُواْ رَبَّ هَٰذَا ٱلۡبَيۡتِ ٣
So let them worship the Lord of this House.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
So let them worship the Lord of this House.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is a call to Quraysh: let them worship the Lord, without partner or equal, of this ancient House, the Ka‘bah, which was protected from the army of the elephant, and give up idolatry.
Reflect
When you turn towards the Ka‘bah today, think of its Lord.
