6. Al-An'amThe Cattle

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful

6:1

(All) the praises and thanks(be) to Allahthe One Whocreatedthe heavensand the earthand madethe darkness[es]ﱉﱊand the lightThenthose whodisbelievedin their Lordequate others with Him(1)

All praise is for Allah Who created the heavens and the earth and made darkness and light.1 Yet the disbelievers set up equals to their Lord ˹in worship˺.

6:2

He(is) the One Whocreated youfromclaythenHe decreedﱘﱙa term and a termspecifiedﱜﱝwith Himyetyoudoubt(2)

He is the One Who created you from clay,1 then appointed a term ˹for your death˺ and another known only to Him ˹for your resurrection˺—yet you continue to doubt!

6:3

And He(is) Allahinthe heavensand inthe earthHe knowsyour secretand what you make publicand He knowswhatyou earn(3)

He is the Only True God in the heavens and the earth. He knows whatever you conceal and whatever you reveal, and knows whatever you do.

6:4

And notcomes to them[of]any signfrom(the) Signs(of) their Lordbutthey arefrom itturning away(4)

Whenever a sign comes to them from their Lord, they turn away from it.

6:5

Then indeedthey deniedthe truthwhenﱿit came to thembut soonwill come to themnews(of) whatthey used to[at it]mock(5)

They have indeed rejected the truth when it came to them, so they will soon face the consequences of their ridicule.

6:6

Did notthey seehow manyWe destroyedfrombefore themofgenerationsWe had established theminthe earthwhatnotWe (have) establishedfor youAnd We sent(rain from) the skyupon themshowering abundantlyand We madethe riversflowfromunderneath themThen We destroyed themfor their sinsand We raisedfromafter themgenerationsother(6)

Have they not seen how many ˹disbelieving˺ peoples We destroyed before them? We had made them more established in the land than you. We sent down abundant rain for them and made rivers flow at their feet. Then We destroyed them for their sins and replaced them with other peoples.

6:7

And (even) ifWe (had) sent downto youa written Scriptureina parchmentand they touched itwith their handssurely (would) have saidthose whodisbelievedNot(is) thisbutmagicclear(7)

Had We sent down to you ˹O Prophet˺ a revelation in writing and they were to touch it with their own hands, the disbelievers would still have said, “This is nothing but pure magic!”

6:8

And they saidWhy has not beensent downto himﲽﲾan AngelﲿAnd ifWe (had) sent downan Angelsurely (would) have been decidedthe matterthennorespite would have been granted to them(8)

They say, “Why has no ˹visible˺ angel come with him?” Had We sent down an angel, the matter would have certainly been settled ˹at once˺,1 and they would have never been given more time ˹to repent˺.
