Al-An'am (The Cattle)

6:0 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Compassionate.

6:1 Praise be to God who created the heavens and the earth, and Who made darkness and light. Yet those who have been unappreciative of their Lord continue to deviate.

6:2 He is the One who created you from clay, then decreed a fixed time period for you; a time defined by Him. Yet you are still skeptical.

6:3 He is God in the heavens and the earth. He knows your secrets and what you reveal; and He knows what you earn.

6:4 Whenever a sign came to them from their Lord, they turned away from it.

6:5 They have denied the truth when it came to them. The news will ultimately come to them of what they were mocking.

6:6 Did they not see how many generations We have destroyed before them? We granted them dominance over the land more than what We granted you, We sent the clouds to them abundantly, and We made rivers flow beneath them; then We destroyed them for their sins, and established after them a new generation.

6:7 If We had sent down to you a book already written on paper, and they touched it with their own hands, then those who have rejected would say, "This is but clear magic!"

6:8 They said, "If only an angel were sent down to him?" But if We had sent down an angel, then the matter would be over, and they would not be reprieved.

6:9 If We had chosen an angel, We would have made him appear as a man, and We would have confused them in what they already are confused.

6:10 Messengers before you were ridiculed; but those who mocked them suffered the consequences of what they ridiculed.

6:11 Say, "Roam the earth, then see what the punishment of the ingrates was!"

6:12 Say, "To whom is all that is in heavens and earth?" Say, "To God." He has decreed mercy on Himself, that He will gather you to the day of Resurrection in which there is no doubt. Those who have lost themselves, they do not acknowledge.
