Surah Al-An'am (The Cattle) – Cattle

Praise belongs to God who created the heavens and the earth and made darkness and light; yet the disbelievers set up equals to their Lord

Translation 1260

He is the one who created you from clay and specified a term [for you] and another fixed time, known only to Him; yet still you doubt

Translation 1260

He is God in the heavens and on earth, He knows your secrets and what you reveal, and He knows what you do

Translation 1260

but every time revelation comes to them from their Lord, they turn their backs on it

Translation 1260

So they denied the truth when it came to them, but the very thing they laughed at will be brought home to them

Translation 1260

Do they not realize how many generations We destroyed before them? We established them in the earth more firmly than you, sent down abundant rain on them from the sky and made running rivers flow at their feet, yet We destroyed them for their misdeeds and raised other generations after them

Translation 1260

Even if We had sent down to you [Prophet] a book inscribed on parchment, and they had touched it with their own hands, the disbelievers would still say, ‘This is nothing but blatant sorcery.’

Translation 1260

They say, ‘Why was no angel sent down to [support] him?’ But had We sent down an angel, their judgement would have come at once with no respite given

Translation 1260

Indeed, if We had sent an angel as messenger, We would still have sent him in the form of a man, so increasing their confusion

Translation 1260

Messengers have been mocked before you [Muhammad], and those who mocked them were engulfed by the very punishment they had mocked

Translation 1260

Say, ‘Travel throughout the earth and see what fate befell those who rejected the truth.’

Translation 1260

Say, ‘To whom belongs all that is in the heavens and earth?’ Say, ‘To God. He has taken it upon Himself to be merciful. He will certainly gather you on the Day of Resurrection, which is beyond all doubt. Those who deceive themselves will not believe

Translation 1260

All that rests by night or by day belongs to Him. He is the All Hearing, the All Knowing.’

Translation 1260

Say, ‘Shall I take for myself a protector other than God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, who feeds but is not fed?’ Say, ‘I am commanded to be the first [of you] to devote myself [to Him].’ Do not be one of the idolaters

Translation 1260

Say, ‘I fear the punishment of a dreadful Day if I disobey my Lord

Translation 1260

God will have been truly merciful to whoever is spared on that Day: that is the clearest triumph.’

Translation 1260

If God touches you [Prophet] with affliction, no one can remove it except Him, and if He touches you with good, He has power over all things

Translation 1260

He is the Supreme Master over His creatures, the All Wise, the All Aware

Translation 1260

Say, ‘What counts most as a witness?’ Say, ‘God is witness between you and me. This Quran was revealed for me to warn you [people] and everyone it reaches. Do you really bear witness that there are other gods beside God?’ Say, ‘I myself do not bear witness [to any such thing].’ Say, ‘He is only one God, and I disown whatever you join with Him.’

Translation 1260

Those to whom We have given the Scripture know this as well as they know their own sons. Those who have lost their souls will not believe

Translation 1260

Who does greater wrong than someone who fabricates a lie against God or denies His revelation? Those who do such wrong will not prosper

Translation 1260

When We gather them all together and say to the polytheists, ‘Where are those you claimed were partners with God?’ in their utter dismay

Translation 1260

they will only say, ‘By God, our Lord, we have not set up partners beside Him!’

Translation 1260

See how they lie against themselves and how those they invented have deserted them

Translation 1260

Among them are some who [appear to] listen to you, but we have placed covers over their hearts- so they do not understand the Quran- and deafness in their ears. Even if they saw every sign they would not believe in them. So, when they come to you, they argue with you: the disbelievers say, ‘These are nothing but ancient fables,’
