Learn Sūrat al-Anʿām
Read it below, then recite it aloud and let Qiraa correct you word by word.
What Sūrat al-Anʿām is about
Sūrat al-Anʿām has 165 āyāt in the seventh and eighth juzʼ. It opens with praise of Allah, who created the heavens and the earth and made darkness and light (6:1). Much of the sūrah points to what people can see: the seed and the date stone split open (6:95), the night and the stars, the rain and the gardens (6:99).
It is named after the cattle that people divided between Allah and their idols, with rules Allah never gave (6:136–144). It tells how Ibrāhīm (Abraham) turned from the star, the moon and the sun to the One who made them (6:76–79), and names eighteen prophets (6:83–86). Near its end the Prophet says that his prayer, his sacrifice, his life and his death are for Allah (6:162).
- Āyāt 1–32
The Creator, and those who turn away
Allah created the heavens and the earth, and made people from clay with a set term (6:2). Yet some turn away from every sign. Earlier generations were destroyed despite their power. On the Day they will deny what they worshipped. The life of this world is play and distraction, and the Hereafter is better (6:32).
- Āyāt 33–73
Every creature, and the keys of the unseen
The Prophet is consoled: messengers before him were denied and stayed patient (6:34). Every creature on earth and bird in the air is a community like people (6:38). With Allah are the keys of the unseen, and not a leaf falls without His knowledge (6:59). He takes souls by night and returns them by day (6:60).
- Āyāt 74–90
Ibrāhīm and the prophets
Ibrāhīm watches a star, the moon and the sun set, and turns to the One who created the heavens and the earth (6:76–79). He asks his people which side has more right to feel safe. Eighteen prophets are named, and the Prophet is told to follow their guidance (6:90).
- Āyāt 91–117
Signs in seed, star and garden
Allah sent down this Book as a blessing, confirming what came before it (6:92). He splits the seed and the date stone, brings the living from the dead, and made the stars to guide people (6:95–97). Sight cannot reach Him, and He reaches all sight (6:103). Believers must not insult what others call upon (6:108).
- Āyāt 118–153
Food, cattle and what Allah forbids
Eat what Allah’s name was mentioned over (6:118). The idolaters made up rules about crops and cattle, and some killed their own children (6:136–140). Then Allah sets out what He truly commands: no partners with Him, goodness to parents, no killing of children, no indecency, honest measure, and His straight path (6:151–153).
- Āyāt 154–165
My prayer and my sacrifice
Mūsā (Moses) was given the Book, and now this blessed Book has come (6:155). A good deed is rewarded tenfold, a bad deed only by its like (6:160). The Prophet says his prayer, his sacrifice, his life and his death are for Allah, Lord of the worlds (6:162). No soul carries another’s burden (6:164).
