Sura 6 The Livestock (Al-An'aam)

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

[6:1] Praise be to God who created the heavens and the earth and devised the darkness and the light. Yet those who disbelieve equate others with their Lord.

[6:2] He is the One who created you from clay then decreed a term; a term that is known to Him, yet you go on doubting.

[6:3] He is God in the heavens and in the earth. He knows your secrets and your declarations, and He knows what you earn.

[6:4] There is not a sign that comes to them of their Lord’s signs without them turning away from it.

[6:5] They denied the truth when it came to them, and so the news will come to them regarding what they used to ridicule.

[6:6] Have they not seen how many generations before them We have annihilated whom We had established in the land more firmly than We have established you? And We showered them generously from the sky, and We made the rivers flow beneath them. Then We annihilated them for their sins, and We brought about another generation after them.

[6:7] And if We had brought down upon you a book on parchment and they were to touch it with their hands, those who disbelieved would have said, "This is nothing but clear magic."

[6:8] And they said, "If only an angel had been brought down upon him!" Had We brought down an angel, the matter would have been settled, and they would not have been granted respite.

[6:9] And had We made him an angel, We would have made him a man, and We would have only confused them in what they are already confused.

[6:10] Messengers before you were ridiculed. Consequently, those who ridiculed them were engulfed by what they used to ridicule.

[6:11] Say, "Travel in the land, then look what the outcome of the deniers was."

[6:12] Say, "To whom belongs what is in the heavens and the earth?" Say, "To God." He has decreed mercy upon Himself. He will gather you unto the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt. Those who have lost themselves, they do not believe.

[6:13] And to Him belongs what resides in the night and the day. He is the Hearer, the Knowledgeable.

[6:14] Say, "Shall I take other than God as an ally, the Initiator of the heavens and the earth; the One who feeds and is not fed?" Say, "I have been commanded to be the first to submit," and do not be one of the mushrikeen.

[6:15] Say, "I fear, should I disobey my Lord, the punishment of a great Day."

[6:16] Whoever is averted from it on that Day has indeed attained His mercy. This is the clear triumph.

[6:17] If God touches you with some harm, none can remove it except Him. And if He touches you with a blessing, He is Capable of all things.

[6:18] He is the Supreme over His servants. He is the Wise, the All-Aware.
