Cattleal-Anʿām ( الأنعام )

165 verses • revealed at Meccan

»The surah that debunks as a mere forgery against the Law of God the forbidden practices of Pre-Islamic Arabia with regard to the sacrifice, distribution, and consumption of Cattle—and all such systems that arbitrarily impose upon people meaningless sacrifices, offerings, and prohibitions in the name of ungodly ideas and lifeless idols, which lead invariably to the impoverishment of women and the poor, and the institutionalization, thereby, of infanticide. It takes its name from “the cattle” (al-anʿām) mentioned in verse 136 ff. which deal with pagan superstitions and certain regulations related to cattle. The surah in its entirety makes plain that it is God who creates, controls, and sees everything, and that it is to Him that we turn in times of need. Thus it gives a lengthy refutation of the idolaters” claims.«

The surah is also known as The Livestock

بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ

জহুরুল হক: সমস্ত প্রশংসা আল্লাহ্‌র প্রাপ্য, সমুদয় সৃষ্ট-জগতের রব্ব।

1
الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ وَجَعَلَ الظُّلُماتِ وَالنّورَ ۖ ثُمَّ الَّذينَ كَفَروا بِرَبِّهِم يَعدِلونَ

জহুরুল হক

সমস্ত প্রশংসা আল্লাহ্‌র জন্য যিনি মহাকাশমন্ডল ও পৃথিবী সৃষ্টি করেছেন, আর তিনি তৈরি করেছেন অন্ধকার ও আলো। তবু যারা অবিশ্বাস পোষণ করে তারা তাদের প্রভুর সাথে দাঁড় করায় সমকক্ষ।
