Indeed those with a wicked disposition become angry due to severe envy when they see that those who are good to them are in a higher position than them.
We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their ownselves, until it becomes manifest to them that this (the Qur’an) is the truth. Is it not sufficient in regard to your Lord that He is a Witness over all things? [41:53]
[سَنُرِيهِمْ آيَاتِنَا فِي الْآفَاقِ – We will show them Our Signs in the universe]: The (Islamic) conquest of the furthest regions of the earth. [وَفِي أَنفُسِهِمْ – and in their ownselves]: The conquest of Makkah.
This is the statement of Al-Hasan, Mujaahid and Sadiy (rahimahullaah)

Question to Shaikh Abdullaah Bin Humaid (rahimahullaah):
Is attendance at the Haram (in Makkah) and breaking the fast over there something desired in the Sunnah or not, for some people obligate that on themselves?
Answer:
It is not Sunnah; rather some people break their fast at the Haram in order to be present for Maghrib Salaah. That is because they will miss the Maghrib Salaah if they were to break their fast at home. And it is not the case that breaking the fast at a Masjid has a distinguished virtue; rather it is for the purpose of attending the congregational prayer. So they (i.e. the people) break their fast over there in order to attend the congregational prayer and not miss it. As for merely breaking the fast, it contains the same reward whether the person does so in his house or at another place. They (i.e. the people) only choose it (i.e. the Masjid) because the Salaah is established over there, so that they can perform it at the Kabah and together with the Muslims as a group. This is the aim.
”The reward of a deed being multiplied is dependent on the perfection of (a person’s) Islaam and the perfection of sincerity in that action.” [Jaami-ul uloom wal-hikam 2/316]
