258. The reference to 'city' in this verse suggests that Makkah was a city and will always remain one. It will never be reduced to a village. Also, even if there is no growth, its people will always be fed. Furthermore, the true servants of Allah are a key to immediate results as they obey Allah and Allah in return answers their call.
