This lecture discusses the unique sanctity of Mecca, highlighting its historical role as a place of peace amidst a turbulent Arab society. Despite centuries of tribal conflict, feuds, and cycles of revenge killings, Mecca’s sacred precinct remained a sanctuary. Even those seeking retribution for deeply personal grievances—like the murder of a father—would refrain from violence within its boundaries. This demonstrates Allah’s provision of security and peace to the city, earning it the title 'City of Peace.' This inherent protection continues to be a defining characteristic of Mecca today.
