The Cattle - Al-'An'am

In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
[6.1] Praise is due to Allah, who has created the heavens and the earth and made
darkness and light. Yet the unbelievers make (others) equal with their Lord.
[6.2] It is He who has created you from clay. He has decreed a term for you and another
one set with Him. Yet you are still in doubt.
[6.3] He is Allah in the heavens and earth. He has knowledge of all that you hide and all
that you reveal. He knows what you earn.
[6.4] Yet every time a sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord, they turn away
from it.[6.5] They belied the truth when it came to them, but there shall come to them
news of that they were mocking.[6.6] Have they not seen how many generations We
have destroyed before them whom We had established in the land in a way We never
established you, sending down for them abundant water from the sky and made the
rivers to flow underneath them? Yet because they sinned, We destroyed them and
raised up other generations after them.[6.7] Had We sent down to you a Book on
parchment and they touched it with their own hands, those who disbelieved would say:
'This is nothing but plain magic.'[6.8] They ask: 'Why has no angel been sent down to
him?' If We had sent down an angel, their fate would have been determined and they
would never have been respited.[6.9] If We had made him an angel, We would have
given him the resemblance of a man, and would have as such confused them with that
in which they are already confused.[6.10] Other Messengers have been mocked before
you. But those who scoffed at them were encompassed by that they had mocked.'
[6.11] Say: 'Travel the land and see what was the fate of those who belied.'
[6.12] Say: 'To whom belongs that which is in the heavens and the earth?' Say: 'To Allah.
He has written for Himself mercy, andawill gather you on the Day of Resurrection in
which there is no doubt. Those who have lost their souls, they do not believe.'
[6.13] His is whatever is at rest in the night and in the day. He is the Hearing, the
Knowing.[6.14] Say: 'Should I take any but Allah for a guardian? He is the Originator of
the heavens and the earth. He feeds and is not fed.' Say: 'I was commanded to be the
first to submit to Him.' Do not be one ofethe idolaters.
[6.15] Say: 'Indeed I fear, if I should disobey my Lord, the punishment of a great Day.'
[6.16] From whomsoever it is averted on that Day, He will have mercy on him; that is a
clear triumph.[6.17] If Allah visits you with affliction, none can remove it except He; and if
He touches you with good, indeed, He has power over all things.
[6.18] He is the Conqueror over His worshipers. He is the Wise, the Aware.
[6.19] Say: 'What thing is greatest in testimony?' Say: 'Allah is a witness between me and
you. This Koran has been revealed totme in order that I can warn you and all whom it
reaches. Do you indeed testify that thererare gods other than Allah?' Say: 'I do not
testify!' Say: 'He is only One God, and Iam quit of that which you associate.'
