Anfal 34-35
34- AND WHY SHOULD ALLAH NOT PUNISH THEM WHILE THEY TURN PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE SACRED MOSQUE, WHILE THEY ARE NOT ITS GUARDIANS, FOR ITS GUARDIANS ARE THE PIOUS, BUT MOST OF THEM DO NOT KNOW.
35- THEIR SALAH AT THE HOUSE WAS NOTHING BUT WHISTLING AND CLAPPING, THEREFORE TASTE THE PUNISHMENT BECAUSE OF YOUR DISBELIEF.
Qurish had a great status among the Arabs for being custodians of the Sacred Mosque. They were not supposed to prevent anyone from visiting the Sacred Mosque, doing Hajj or Omrah, not even their enemies. Also no one was supposed to fight in Makah; therefore, they enjoyed peace and status among the Arab Tribes. Peace and status, as well as the pilgrims going to Makah, meant for them to enjoy prosperity.
However, the people of Qurish tortured the Muslims in Makah, where fighting is forbidden.
Also the People of Makah (Qurish) prevented Mohamed prayer and peace upon him and the Muslims from going on Omrah, and made them go back to return next year, and they were allowed to stay in Makah for only 3 days.
Yet, the disbelievers in Makah considered themselves to be the custodians and guardians of the Sacred Mosque. Allah the Highest makes a clear statement that the custodians and guardians of the Sacred Mosque should be the pious believers, not the disbelievers, regardless of what they spend on it. The guardianship of the holy sites is not a physical guardianship, but religious and ethical guardianship too. It is not who provides for it, but who upholds the faith and religion it represents and symbolises.
The disbelievers used to do some strange practices in their Tawaf. They often whistled, and clapped their hands, and some even stripped naked for Tawaf.
Allah the Highest is promising them a great punishment because of their disbelief and of what they did.
