Concept:The Quraysh opposed Prophet Muhammad (SAW) mainly to protect their social position and economic gains tied to idol worship in Makkah.
Explanation:The Quraysh were the custodians of the Kaaba, which housed many idols.
People travelled from distant lands to Makkah to worship these idols.
This brought the Quraysh great wealth through trade, gifts, and pilgrimage activities.
The Prophet (SAW) preached pure monotheism, inviting people to worship Allah alone.
If idol worship stopped, the Quraysh feared losing their income and their honoured status as guardians of the Kaaba.
They also feared that Islam would strip them of their social privileges over other Arab tribes and the weaker members of society.
These socio-economic fears made them oppose the Prophet (SAW) right from the beginning of his mission.
Familiarity with Christianity was not a cause of their opposition.
Answer:The correct answer is C: socio-economic consideration.
