God, however, was aware of their needs and requirements and by merely investing the Ka'bah with a central position in Arabia He ensured their national survival | This enabled the people of various regions and tribes to establish social and cultural ties among themselves |

English - Sahih International : Allah has made the Ka'bah the Sacred House standing for the people and [has sanctified] the sacred months and the sacrificial animals and the garlands [by which they are identified] That is so you may know that Allah knows what is in the heavens and what is in the earth and that Allah is Knowing of all things• Moreover, since certain months of the year were regarded as sacred months in which there could be no bloodshed, the Arabs enjoyed peace and security for about a quarter of the year | Demikian itu peraturan yang telah disebutkan itu agar kamu tahu, bahwa sesungguhnya Allah mengetahui apa yang ada di langit dan apa yang ada di bumi dan bahwa sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mengetahui segala sesuatu karena sesungguhnya Ia telah menjadikan peraturan tersebut demi kemaslahatan kamu dan demi untuk menolak mara bahaya dari dirimu sebelum segala sesuatunya terjadi; hal ini jelas menunjukkan pengetahuan Allah yang mencakup semua yang ada dalam alam wujud ini dan semua yang sedang berlangsung |
During the several centuries of anarchy and disorder which preceded the advent of the Prophet peace be on him , the Arabs were themselves unaware of their own interests and seemed bent upon self-destruction.
2This led to the growth and flowering of their language and literature | Indonesia - Bahasa Indonesia : Allah telah menjadikan Ka'bah rumah suci itu sebagai pusat peribadatan dan urusan dunia bagi manusia dan demikian pula bulan Haram hadya qalaid Allah menjadikan yang demikian itu agar kamu tahu bahwa sesungguhnya Allah mengetahui apa yang ada di langit dan apa yang ada di bumi dan bahwa sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mengetahui segala sesuatu• The custom of consecrating animals for sacrifice, marked off from others by the collars around their necks, also facilitated the movement of caravans, for whenever the Arabs saw those animals with their collars signifying consecration for sacrifice, they-bent their heads in reverence and no predatory tribe had the courage to molest them |

It was during this period that caravans moved in freedom and with ease from one end of the peninsula to the other | Since the entire populace was drawn towards the Ka'bah for the performance of Hajj and 'Umrah, their coming together brought about a measure of unity in the life of the Arabs which was otherwise rent with disunity |
Swahili - Al-Barwani : Mwenyezi Mungu ameifanya Al Kaaba hii Nyumba Tukufu ni simamio la watu na kadhaalika Miezi Mitukufu na wanyama wa dhabihu na vigwe Hayo ili mjue ya kwamba Mwenyezi Mungu anayajua yaliyomo mbinguni na yaliyomo katika ardhi na ya kwamba Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mjuzi wa kila kitu• In Arabia, the Ka'bah was not merely a sacred place of worship.
