Allah ﷻ says, "I swear by this city—and you [Prophet] are an inhabitant of this city." [Quran 90:1-2]

In this lesson, we discuss how Allah ﷻ swears by things that are significant. We reflect on the opening verses from Sura al-Balad, in which Allah ﷻ addresses the Prophet ﷺ and swears by the Holy City of Mecca and by the Prophet's residence within.
