AL ANA`AM (THE CATTLE)

Section 1

Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

[Ana`am 6:1] All praise is to Allah, Who has created the heavens and the earth, and has created darkness and light; yet the disbelievers appoint equals (false deities) to their Lord!

[Ana`am 6:2] It is He Who has created you from clay, and then decreed a term for you; and it is a fixed promise before Him, yet you still doubt!

[Ana`am 6:3] And He is Allah (the God) of the heavens and in the earth; He knows all, your secrets and your disclosures, and He knows your deeds.

[Ana`am 6:4] And never does a sign come to them from among the signs of Allah, except that they * turn away from it. (* The disbelievers)

[Ana`am 6:5] So indeed they denied the truth * when it came to them; so now the tidings of the thing they used to mock at, will come to them. (Prophet Mohammed -peace and blessings be upon him, or the Holy Qur’an).

[Ana`am 6:6] Do they not see how many civilisations We destroyed before them, whom We had established more firmly in the earth than We have established you, and We sent on them abundant rain from the sky, and made the rivers flow beneath them? So we destroyed them because of their sins, and created another civilisation after them.

[Ana`am 6:7] And had We sent down to you (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) something written on paper so that they could feel it with their hands, even then the disbelievers would have said, “This is nothing but clear magic.”

[Ana`am 6:8] And they said, “Why has not an angel been sent down to him?” And had We sent down an angel, then the matter would have been finished, and they would not get any respite.
