Al-An'am - The Cattle

الأنعام
Verse 13

وَلَهُ ما سَكَنَ فِي اللَّيلِ وَالنَّهارِ ۚ وَهُوَ السَّميعُ العَليمُ

To Him belongs whatever rests in the night and the day. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

Verse 14

قُل أَغَيرَ اللَّهِ أَتَّخِذُ وَلِيًّا فاطِرِ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَهُوَ يُطعِمُ وَلا يُطعَمُ ۗ قُل إِنّي أُمِرتُ أَن أَكونَ أَوَّلَ مَن أَسلَمَ ۖ وَلا تَكونَنَّ مِنَ المُشرِكينَ

Say, “Should I take a protector other than God, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, who feeds and is not fed?” Say, “I am instructed to be the first who submits.” And don’t be among the polytheists.

Verse 15

قُل إِنّي أَخافُ إِن عَصَيتُ رَبّي عَذابَ يَومٍ عَظيمٍ

Say, “I fear the punishment of a tremendous Day if I were to disobey my Lord.”

Verse 16

مَن يُصرَف عَنهُ يَومَئِذٍ فَقَد رَحِمَهُ ۚ وَذٰلِكَ الفَوزُ المُبينُ

Whoever is spared from it on that Day, He will indeed have shown mercy to him; and that’s the clear success.

Verse 17

وَإِن يَمسَسكَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلا كاشِفَ لَهُ إِلّا هُوَ ۖ وَإِن يَمسَسكَ بِخَيرٍ فَهُوَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرٌ

If God touches you with adversity, no one can remove it but Him. And if He touches you with good, He is capable of everything.

وَهُوَ القاهِرُ فَوقَ عِبادِهِ ۚ وَهُوَ الحَكيمُ الخَبيرُ

He is the Dominant over His beings. He is the All-Wise, the Expert.

Verse 19

قُل أَيُّ شَيءٍ أَكبَرُ شَهادَةً ۖ قُلِ اللَّهُ ۖ شَهيدٌ بَيني وَبَينَكُم ۚ وَأوحِيَ إِلَيَّ هـٰذَا القُرآنُ لِأُنذِرَكُم بِهِ وَمَن بَلَغَ ۚ أَئِنَّكُم لَتَشهَدونَ أَنَّ مَعَ اللَّهِ آلِهَةً أُخرىٰ ۚ قُل لا أَشهَدُ ۚ قُل إِنَّما هُوَ إِلـٰهٌ واحِدٌ وَإِنَّني بَريءٌ مِمّا تُشرِكونَ

Ask them, “What is greater in testimony?” Say, “God is the Witness between me and you. This Quran has been revealed to me, to warn you by it and anyone it reaches. Do you bear witness that there are other gods besides God?” Say, “I don’t bear witness.” Say, “He is, but One God, and I am innocent of whatever you associate with Him.”

Verse 20

الَّذينَ آتَيناهُمُ الكِتابَ يَعرِفونَهُ كَما يَعرِفونَ أَبناءَهُمُ ۘ الَّذينَ خَسِروا أَنفُسَهُم فَهُم لا يُؤمِنونَ

Those to whom We gave the Scripture recognize it as they recognize their own children. Yet, those who lost their souls don’t believe.

Verse 21

وَمَن أَظلَمُ مِمَّنِ افتَرىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَو كَذَّبَ بِآياتِهِ ۗ إِنَّهُ لا يُفلِحُ الظّالِمونَ

Who is more unjust than one who fabricates lies about God or rejects His revelations? The wrongdoers won’t succeed.

Verse 22

وَيَومَ نَحشُرُهُم جَميعًا ثُمَّ نَقولُ لِلَّذينَ أَشرَكوا أَينَ شُرَكاؤُكُمُ الَّذينَ كُنتُم تَزعُمونَ

On the Day We gather them all together, We will ask those who associated partners with God, “Where are those partners you claimed?”

Verse 23

ثُمَّ لَم تَكُن فِتنَتُهُم إِلّا أَن قالوا وَاللَّهِ رَبِّنا ما كُنّا مُشرِكينَ

Their only response will be, “By God, our Lord, we were not polytheists.”
