سورة الأنعام

Ayat 1

[All] praise is [due] to Allāh, who created the heavens and the earth and made the darkness and the light. Then those who disbelieve equate [others] with their Lord. [Al-Anaam: 1]

Ayat 2

It is He who created you from clay and then decreed a term1 and a specified time [known] to Him;2 then [still] you are in dispute. [Al-Anaam: 2]

Ayat 3

And He is Allāh, [the only deity] in the heavens and the earth. He knows your secret and what you make public, and He knows that which you earn. [Al-Anaam: 3]

Ayat 4

And no sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord except that they turn away therefrom. [Al-Anaam: 4]

Ayat 5

For they had denied the truth when it came to them, but there is going to reach them the news of what they used to ridicule.1 [Al-Anaam: 5]

Ayat 6

Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them which We had established upon the earth as We have not established you? And We sent [rain from] the sky upon them in showers and made rivers flow beneath them; then We destroyed them for their sins and brought forth after them a generation of others. [Al-Anaam: 6]

Ayat 7

And even if We had sent down to you, [O Muḥammad], a written scripture on a page and they touched it with their hands, the disbelievers would say, "This is not but obvious magic." [Al-Anaam: 7]

Ayat 8

And they say, "Why was there not sent down to him an angel?"1 But if We had sent down an angel, the matter would have been decided;2 then they would not be reprieved. [Al-Anaam: 8]

Ayat 9

And if We had made him [i.e., the messenger] an angel, We would have made him [appear as] a man, and We would have covered them with that in which they cover themselves [i.e., confusion and doubt]. [Al-Anaam: 9]

Ayat 10

And already were messengers ridiculed before you, but those who mocked them were enveloped by that which they used to ridicule. [Al-Anaam: 10]

Ayat 11

Say, "Travel through the land; then observe how was the end of the deniers." [Al-Anaam: 11]

Ayat 12

Say, "To whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and earth?" Say, "To Allāh." He has decreed upon Himself mercy. He will surely assemble you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt. Those who will lose themselves [that Day] do not believe. [Al-Anaam: 12]

Ayat 13

And to Him belongs that which reposes by night and by day, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing. [Al-Anaam: 13]

Ayat 14

Say, "Is it other than Allāh I should take as a protector, Creator of the heavens and earth, while it is He who feeds and is not fed?" Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, I have been commanded to be the first [among you] who submit [to Allāh] and [was commanded], 'Do not ever be of the polytheists." [Al-Anaam: 14]

Ayat 15

Say, "Indeed I fear, if I should disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day." [Al-Anaam: 15]

Ayat 16

He from whom it is averted that Day - [Allāh] has granted him mercy. And that is the clear attainment. [Al-Anaam: 16]

Ayat 17

And if Allāh should touch you with adversity, there is no remover of it except Him. And if He touches you with good - then He is over all things competent. [Al-Anaam: 17]

Ayat 18

And He is the subjugator over His servants. And He is the Wise,1 the Aware.2 [Al-Anaam: 18]

Ayat 19

Say, "What thing is greatest in testimony?" Say, "Allāh is witness between me and you. And this Qur’ān was revealed to me that I may warn you thereby and whomever it reaches.1 Do you [truly] testify that with Allāh there are other deities?" Say, "I will not testify [with you]." Say, "Indeed, He is but one God, and indeed, I am free of what you associate [with Him]." [Al-Anaam: 19]

Ayat 20

Those to whom We have given the Scripture recognize it1 as they recognize their [own] sons. Those who will lose themselves [in the Hereafter] do not believe. [Al-Anaam: 20]

Ayat 21

And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allāh a lie or denies His verses? Indeed, the wrongdoers will not succeed. [Al-Anaam: 21]

Ayat 22

And [mention, O Muḥammad], the Day We will gather them all together; then We will say to those who associated others with Allāh, "Where are your 'partners' that you used to claim [with Him]?" [Al-Anaam: 22]

Ayat 23

Then there will be no [excuse upon] examination except they will say, "By Allāh, our Lord, we were not those who associated." [Al-Anaam: 23]

Ayat 24

See how they will lie about themselves. And lost from them will be what they used to invent. [Al-Anaam: 24]

Ayat 25

And among them are those who listen to you,1 but We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. Even when they come to you arguing with you, those who disbelieve say, "This is not but legends of the former peoples." [Al-Anaam: 25]

Ayat 26

And they prevent [others] from him and are [themselves] remote from him. And they do not destroy except themselves, but they perceive [it] not. [Al-Anaam: 26]

Ayat 27

If you could but see when they are made to stand before the Fire and will say, "Oh, would that we could be returned [to life on earth] and not deny the signs of our Lord and be among the believers." [Al-Anaam: 27]

Ayat 28

But what they concealed before has [now] appeared to them. And even if they were returned, they would return to that which they were forbidden; and indeed, they are liars. [Al-Anaam: 28]

Ayat 29

And they say, "There is none but our worldly life, and we will not be resurrected." [Al-Anaam: 29]

Ayat 30

If you could but see when they will be made to stand before their Lord. He will say, "Is this not the truth?" They will say, "Yes, by our Lord." He will [then] say, "So taste the punishment for what you used to deny." [Al-Anaam: 30]

Ayat 31

Those will have lost who deny the meeting with Allāh, until when the Hour [of resurrection] comes upon them unexpectedly, they will say, "Oh, [how great is] our regret over what we neglected concerning it [i.e., the Hour]," while they bear their burdens [i.e., sins] on their backs. Unquestionably, evil is that which they bear. [Al-Anaam: 31]

Ayat 32

And the worldly life is not but amusement and diversion; but the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allāh, so will you not reason? [Al-Anaam: 32]

Ayat 33

We know that you, [O Muḥammad], are saddened by what they say. And indeed, they do not call you untruthful, but it is the verses of Allāh that the wrongdoers reject. [Al-Anaam: 33]

Ayat 34

And certainly were messengers denied before you, but they were patient over the denial, and they were harmed until Our victory came to them. And none can alter the words [i.e., decrees] of Allāh. And there has certainly come to you some information about the [previous] messengers. [Al-Anaam: 34]

Ayat 35

And if their evasion is difficult for you, then if you are able to seek a tunnel into the earth or a stairway into the sky to bring them a sign, [then do so]. But if Allāh had willed, He would have united them upon guidance. So never be of the ignorant. [Al-Anaam: 35]

Ayat 36

Only those who hear will respond. But the dead1 - Allāh will resurrect them; then to Him they will be returned. [Al-Anaam: 36]

Ayat 38

And there is no creature on [or within] the earth or bird that flies with its wings except [that they are] communities like you. We have not neglected in the Register1 a thing. Then unto their Lord they will be gathered. [Al-Anaam: 38]

Ayat 39

But those who deny Our verses are deaf and dumb within darknesses. Whomever Allāh wills - He sends astray; and whomever He wills - He puts him on a straight path. [Al-Anaam: 39]

Ayat 40

Say, "Have you considered:1 if there came to you the punishment of Allāh or there came to you the Hour - is it other than Allāh you would invoke, if you should be truthful?" [Al-Anaam: 40]

Ayat 41

No, it is Him [alone] you would invoke, and He would remove that for which you invoked Him if He willed, and you would forget what you associate [with Him]. [Al-Anaam: 41]

Ayat 42

And We have already sent [messengers] to nations before you, [O Muḥammad]; then We seized them with poverty and hardship that perhaps they might humble themselves [to Us]. [Al-Anaam: 42]

Ayat 43

Then why, when Our punishment came to them, did they not humble themselves? But their hearts became hardened, and Satan made attractive to them that which they were doing. [Al-Anaam: 43]

Ayat 44

So when they forgot that by which they had been reminded,1 We opened to them the doors of every [good] thing until, when they rejoiced in that which they were given, We seized them suddenly, and they were [then] in despair. [Al-Anaam: 44]

Ayat 45

So the people that committed wrong were eliminated. And praise to Allāh, Lord of the worlds. [Al-Anaam: 45]
