Al-An'am - The Cattle

الأنعام
Verse 66

وَكَذَّبَ بِهِ قَومُكَ وَهُوَ الحَقُّ ۚ قُل لَستُ عَلَيكُم بِوَكيلٍ

Your people have denied it, even though it’s the truth. Say, “I’m not a manager over you.”

Verse 67

لِكُلِّ نَبَإٍ مُستَقَرٌّ ۚ وَسَوفَ تَعلَمونَ

For every prophecy there is a fixed time, and you will soon come to know.

Verse 68

وَإِذا رَأَيتَ الَّذينَ يَخوضونَ في آياتِنا فَأَعرِض عَنهُم حَتّىٰ يَخوضوا في حَديثٍ غَيرِهِ ۚ وَإِمّا يُنسِيَنَّكَ الشَّيطانُ فَلا تَقعُد بَعدَ الذِّكرىٰ مَعَ القَومِ الظّالِمينَ

When you see those who engage in offensive discussions about Our verses, turn away from them until they engage in a different topic. Should Satan cause you to forget, then once you remember, don’t sit in the company of the unjust people.

Verse 69

وَما عَلَى الَّذينَ يَتَّقونَ مِن حِسابِهِم مِن شَيءٍ وَلـٰكِن ذِكرىٰ لَعَلَّهُم يَتَّقونَ

The righteous bear no responsibility for them, but a reminder might assist them in becoming conscious.

Verse 70

وَذَرِ الَّذينَ اتَّخَذوا دينَهُم لَعِبًا وَلَهوًا وَغَرَّتهُمُ الحَياةُ الدُّنيا ۚ وَذَكِّر بِهِ أَن تُبسَلَ نَفسٌ بِما كَسَبَت لَيسَ لَها مِن دونِ اللَّهِ وَلِيٌّ وَلا شَفيعٌ وَإِن تَعدِل كُلَّ عَدلٍ لا يُؤخَذ مِنها ۗ أُولـٰئِكَ الَّذينَ أُبسِلوا بِما كَسَبوا ۖ لَهُم شَرابٌ مِن حَميمٍ وَعَذابٌ أَليمٌ بِما كانوا يَكفُرونَ

Leave those who treat their religion as amusement and distraction, and whom the worldly life has deceived. However, remind with it, lest a soul be ruined by what it earned, it will have no protector or intercessor besides God. Even if it should offer every compensation, it won’t be accepted from it. These are the ones who are doomed by their actions. For them is a drink of boiling water and a severe punishment due to their disbelief.

قُل أَنَدعو مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ما لا يَنفَعُنا وَلا يَضُرُّنا وَنُرَدُّ عَلىٰ أَعقابِنا بَعدَ إِذ هَدانَا اللَّهُ كَالَّذِي استَهوَتهُ الشَّياطينُ فِي الأَرضِ حَيرانَ لَهُ أَصحابٌ يَدعونَهُ إِلَى الهُدَى ائتِنا ۗ قُل إِنَّ هُدَى اللَّهِ هُوَ الهُدىٰ ۖ وَأُمِرنا لِنُسلِمَ لِرَبِّ العالَمينَ

Say, “Should we call upon, instead of God, those who can neither benefit nor harm us, and turn backward after God has guided us? Like one whom the devils have led astray on the earth, bewildered in the wilderness, confused, while his friends call him to guidance, saying, ‘Come to us’.” Say, “God’s guidance is the guidance, and we’ve been commanded to submit to the Lord of the universes.”

Verse 72

وَأَن أَقيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَاتَّقوهُ ۚ وَهُوَ الَّذي إِلَيهِ تُحشَرونَ

“And to establish prayer and revere Him. It is to Him that you will be gathered.”

Verse 73

وَهُوَ الَّذي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ بِالحَقِّ ۖ وَيَومَ يَقولُ كُن فَيَكونُ ۚ قَولُهُ الحَقُّ ۚ وَلَهُ المُلكُ يَومَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصّورِ ۚ عالِمُ الغَيبِ وَالشَّهادَةِ ۚ وَهُوَ الحَكيمُ الخَبيرُ

It is He who created the heavens and the earth with truth. The Day He says, “Be,” it becomes. His word is the ultimate truth. His is the dominion on the Day when the trumpet is blown; the Knower of the unseen and the seen; He is the Wise, the Expert.

Verse 74

وَإِذ قالَ إِبراهيمُ لِأَبيهِ آزَرَ أَتَتَّخِذُ أَصنامًا آلِهَةً ۖ إِنّي أَراكَ وَقَومَكَ في ضَلالٍ مُبينٍ

Abraham told his father, Azar, “Do you take idols as gods? I see you and your people are clearly astrayed.”

Verse 75

وَكَذٰلِكَ نُري إِبراهيمَ مَلَكوتَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَلِيَكونَ مِنَ الموقِنينَ

We showed Abraham the empire of the heavens and the earth, so that he could have certainty.

Verse 76

فَلَمّا جَنَّ عَلَيهِ اللَّيلُ رَأىٰ كَوكَبًا ۖ قالَ هـٰذا رَبّي ۖ فَلَمّا أَفَلَ قالَ لا أُحِبُّ الآفِلينَ

When the night covered him, he saw a star and said, “This is my lord.” But once it set, he said, “I don’t love things that set.”
