Answer Details
In Quran chapter 95 verse 3, Makkah is referred to as the city of "security." The Arabic word used in the verse is "amin" which means safety, peace, and security. This refers to the fact that Makkah was considered a sacred and secure city even before the advent of Islam. It was a place of pilgrimage for many tribes and was considered a sanctuary where no violence was allowed. This is why the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) chose Makkah as the birthplace of Islam and the site for the Holy Kaaba, which has since become the focal point of Islamic prayer and pilgrimage.
