Surah Al-An'aam Recitation, Translation, and Tafseer - The Holy Quran

6:81

وَ كَیْفَ اَخَافُ مَاۤ اَشْرَكْتُمْ وَ لَا تَخَافُوْنَ اَنَّكُمْ اَشْرَكْتُمْ بِاللّٰهِ مَا لَمْ یُنَزِّلْ بِهٖ عَلَیْكُمْ سُلْطٰنًاؕ-فَاَیُّ الْفَرِیْقَیْنِ اَحَقُّ بِالْاَمْنِۚ-اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَۘ(۸۱)

And why should I fear those you associate with Him when you fear not associating others with God for which He has sent down no sanction? Tell me, whose way is the way of peace, if you have the knowledge?

6:82

اَلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ لَمْ یَلْبِسُوْۤا اِیْمَانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ اُولٰٓىٕكَ لَهُمُ الْاَمْنُ وَ هُمْ مُّهْتَدُوْنَ۠(۸۲)

They alone have peace who believe and do not intermix belief with denial, and are guided on the right path."

6:83

وَ تِلْكَ حُجَّتُنَاۤ اٰتَیْنٰهَاۤ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ عَلٰى قَوْمِهٖؕ-نَرْفَعُ دَرَجٰتٍ مَّنْ نَّشَآءُؕ-اِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَكِیْمٌ عَلِیْمٌ(۸۳)

This is the argument We gave to Abraham against his people. We exalt whosoever We please in rank by degrees. Your Lord is wise and all-knowing.

6:84

وَ وَهَبْنَا لَهٗۤ اِسْحٰقَ وَ یَعْقُوْبَؕ-كُلًّا هَدَیْنَاۚ-وَ نُوْحًا هَدَیْنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ مِنْ ذُرِّیَّتِهٖ دَاوٗدَ وَ سُلَیْمٰنَ وَ اَیُّوْبَ وَ یُوْسُفَ وَ مُوْسٰى وَ هٰرُوْنَؕ-وَ كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِی الْمُحْسِنِیْنَۙ(۸۴)

And We gave him Isaac and Jacob and guided them, as We had guided Noah before them, and of his descendants, David and Solomon and Job and Joseph and Moses and Aaron. Thus We reward those who are upright and do good.

6:85

وَ زَكَرِیَّا وَ یَحْیٰى وَ عِیْسٰى وَ اِلْیَاسَؕ-كُلٌّ مِّنَ الصّٰلِحِیْنَۙ(۸۵)

Zachariah and John We guided, and guided Jesus and Elias who were all among the upright.

6:86

وَ اِسْمٰعِیْلَ وَ الْیَسَعَ وَ یُوْنُسَ وَ لُوْطًاؕ-وَ كُلًّا فَضَّلْنَا عَلَى الْعٰلَمِیْنَۙ(۸۶)

We gave guidance to Ishmael, Elisha and Jonah and Lot; And We favoured them over the other people of the world,

6:87

وَ مِنْ اٰبَآىٕهِمْ وَ ذُرِّیّٰتِهِمْ وَ اِخْوَانِهِمْۚ-وَ اجْتَبَیْنٰهُمْ وَ هَدَیْنٰهُمْ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ(۸۷)

As We did some of their fathers and progeny and brethren, and chose them, and showed them the right path.

6:88

ذٰلِكَ هُدَى اللّٰهِ یَهْدِیْ بِهٖ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖؕ-وَ لَوْ اَشْرَكُوْا لَحَبِطَ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ(۸۸)

This is God´s guidance: He gives among His creatures whom He will. If they had associated others with Him, surely vain would have been all they did.

6:89

اُولٰٓىٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰتَیْنٰهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ وَ الْحُكْمَ وَ النُّبُوَّةَۚ-فَاِنْ یَّكْفُرْ بِهَا هٰۤؤُلَآءِ فَقَدْ وَ كَّلْنَا بِهَا قَوْمًا لَّیْسُوْا بِهَا بِكٰفِرِیْنَ(۸۹)

Those were the people to whom We gave the Book and the Law and the Prophethood. But if they reject these things We shall entrust them to a people who will not deny.

6:90

اُولٰٓىٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ هَدَى اللّٰهُ فَبِهُدٰىهُمُ اقْتَدِهْؕ-قُلْ لَّاۤ اَسْــٴَـلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ اَجْرًاؕ-اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكْرٰى لِلْعٰلَمِیْنَ۠(۹۰)

Those were the people who were guided by God; so follow their way. Say: "I ask no recompense of you for this. It is but a reminder for all the people of the world."

6:91

وَ مَا قَدَرُوا اللّٰهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهٖۤ اِذْ قَالُوْا مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى بَشَرٍ مِّنْ شَیْءٍؕ-قُلْ مَنْ اَنْزَلَ الْكِتٰبَ الَّذِیْ جَآءَ بِهٖ مُوْسٰى نُوْرًا وَّ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ تَجْعَلُوْنَهٗ قَرَاطِیْسَ تُبْدُوْنَهَا وَ تُخْفُوْنَ كَثِیْرًاۚ-وَ عُلِّمْتُمْ مَّا لَمْ تَعْلَمُوْۤا اَنْتُمْ وَ لَاۤ اٰبَآؤُكُمْؕ-قُلِ اللّٰهُۙ-ثُمَّ ذَرْهُمْ فِیْ خَوْضِهِمْ یَلْعَبُوْنَ(۹۱)

But they failed to make a just estimation of God when they said: "He did not reveal to any man any thing." Ask them: "Who then revealed the Book that Moses brought, -- a guidance and light for men, -- which you treat as sheafs of paper, which you display, yet conceal a great deal, though through it you were taught things you did not know before, nor even your fathers knew?" Say: "God," and leave them to the sport of engaging in vain discourse.

6:92

وَ هٰذَا كِتٰبٌ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ مُبٰرَكٌ مُّصَدِّقُ الَّذِیْ بَیْنَ یَدَیْهِ وَ لِتُنْذِرَ اُمَّ الْقُرٰى وَ مَنْ حَوْلَهَاؕ-وَ الَّذِیْنَ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖ وَ هُمْ عَلٰى صَلَاتِهِمْ یُحَافِظُوْنَ(۹۲)

And this (Qur´an) is another Book that We have revealed, blessed, affirming the earlier (revelations), so that you may warn the people of (Makkah) the town of towns, and those who live around it. Those who believe in the life to come shall believe in it and be watchful of their moral obligations.

6:93

وَ مَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا اَوْ قَالَ اُوْحِیَ اِلَیَّ وَ لَمْ یُوْحَ اِلَیْهِ شَیْءٌ وَّ مَنْ قَالَ سَاُنْزِلُ مِثْلَ مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُؕ-وَ لَوْ تَرٰۤى اِذِ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ فِیْ غَمَرٰتِ الْمَوْتِ وَ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ بَاسِطُوْۤا اَیْدِیْهِمْۚ-اَخْرِجُوْۤا اَنْفُسَكُمْؕ-اَلْیَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ عَذَابَ الْهُوْنِ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَقُوْلُوْنَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ غَیْرَ الْحَقِّ وَ كُنْتُمْ عَنْ اٰیٰتِهٖ تَسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ(۹۳)

Who is more vile than he who slanders God of falsehood, or says: "Revelation came to me," when no such revelation came to him; or one who claims: "I can reveal the like of what has been sent down by God?" If you could see the evil creatures in the agony of death with the angels thrusting forward their hands (saying): "Yield up your souls: This day you will suffer ignominious punishment for uttering lies about God and rejecting His signs with arrogance."

6:94

وَ لَقَدْ جِئْتُمُوْنَا فُرَادٰى كَمَا خَلَقْنٰكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَّ تَرَكْتُمْ مَّا خَوَّلْنٰكُمْ وَرَآءَ ظُهُوْرِكُمْۚ-وَ مَا نَرٰى مَعَكُمْ شُفَعَآءَكُمُ الَّذِیْنَ زَعَمْتُمْ اَنَّهُمْ فِیْكُمْ شُرَكٰٓؤُاؕ-لَقَدْ تَّقَطَّعَ بَیْنَكُمْ وَ ضَلَّ عَنْكُمْ مَّا كُنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُوْنَ۠(۹۴)

"You have come before Us all alone," (God will say), "as when you were created first, leaving behind all that We had bestowed on you. We do not see your intercessors with you who, you imagined, had partnership with you. Shattered lie your ties with them now, and gone are the claims you made."

6:95

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ فَالِقُ الْحَبِّ وَ النَّوٰىؕ-یُخْرِ جُ الْحَیَّ مِنَ الْمَیِّتِ وَ مُخْرِ جُ الْمَیِّتِ مِنَ الْحَیِّؕ-ذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ فَاَنّٰى تُؤْفَكُوْنَ(۹۵)

Indeed it is God who splits up the seed and the kernel, and brings forth the living from the dead, the dead from the living. This is God: So whither do you stray?

6:96

فَالِقُ الْاِصْبَاحِۚ-وَ جَعَلَ الَّیْلَ سَكَنًا وَّ الشَّمْسَ وَ الْقَمَرَ حُسْبَانًاؕ-ذٰلِكَ تَقْدِیْرُ الْعَزِیْزِ الْعَلِیْمِ(۹۶)

He ushers in the dawn, and made the night for rest, the sun and moon a computation. Such is the measure appointed by Him, the omnipotent and all-wise.

6:97

وَ هُوَ الَّذِیْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ النُّجُوْمَ لِتَهْتَدُوْا بِهَا فِیْ ظُلُمٰتِ الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِؕ-قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا الْاٰیٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ یَّعْلَمُوْنَ(۹۷)

It is He who made the stars by which you reckon your way through the darkness of the desert and the sea. Distinct have We made Our signs for those who recognise.

6:98

وَ هُوَ الَّذِیْۤ اَنْشَاَكُمْ مِّنْ نَّفْسٍ وَّاحِدَةٍ فَمُسْتَقَرٌّ وَّ مُسْتَوْدَعٌؕ-قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا الْاٰیٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ یَّفْقَهُوْنَ(۹۸)

It is He who produced you from a single cell, and appointed a place of sojourning, (the womb of the mother), and a place of depositing, (the grave). How clear have We made Our signs for those who understand.

6:99

وَ هُوَ الَّذِیْۤ اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءًۚ-فَاَخْرَجْنَا بِهٖ نَبَاتَ كُلِّ شَیْءٍ فَاَخْرَجْنَا مِنْهُ خَضِرًا نُّخْرِ جُ مِنْهُ حَبًّا مُّتَرَاكِبًاۚ-وَ مِنَ النَّخْلِ مِنْ طَلْعِهَا قِنْوَانٌ دَانِیَةٌ وَّ جَنّٰتٍ مِّنْ اَعْنَابٍ وَّ الزَّیْتُوْنَ وَ الرُّمَّانَ مُشْتَبِهًا وَّ غَیْرَ مُتَشَابِهٍؕ-اُنْظُرُوْۤا اِلٰى ثَمَرِهٖۤ اِذَاۤ اَثْمَرَ وَ یَنْعِهٖؕ-اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكُمْ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ یُّؤْمِنُوْنَ(۹۹)

It is He who sends down water from the skies, and brings out of it everything that grows, the green foliage, the grain lying close, the date palm trees with clusters of dates, and the gardens of grapes, and of olives and pomegranates, so similar yet so unlike. Look at the fruits, how they appear on the trees, and they ripen. In all these are signs for those who believe.

6:100

وَ جَعَلُوْا لِلّٰهِ شُرَكَآءَ الْجِنَّ وَ خَلَقَهُمْ وَ خَرَقُوْا لَهٗ بَنِیْنَ وَ بَنٰتٍۭ بِغَیْرِ عِلْمٍؕ-سُبْحٰنَهٗ وَ تَعٰلٰى عَمَّا یَصِفُوْنَ۠(۱۰۰)

Yet they ascribe to jinns a partnership with God, although He created them; and they ascribe to Him sons and daughters, without possessing any knowledge. All praise be to Him. He is much too exalted for things they associate (with Him).

6:101

بَدِیْعُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِؕ-اَنّٰى یَكُوْنُ لَهٗ وَلَدٌ وَّ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَّهٗ صَاحِبَةٌؕ-وَ خَلَقَ كُلَّ شَیْءٍۚ-وَ هُوَ بِكُلِّ شَیْءٍ عَلِیْمٌ(۱۰۱)

Creator of the heavens and the earth from nothingness, how could He have a son when He has no mate? He created all things, and has knowledge of all things.

6:102

ذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبُّكُمْۚ-لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ-خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَیْءٍ فَاعْبُدُوْهُۚ-وَ هُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ وَّكِیْلٌ(۱۰۲)

This is God, your Lord; there is no god but He, the creator of all things. So pay homage to Him, for He takes care of everything.

6:103

لَا تُدْرِكُهُ الْاَبْصَارُ٘-وَ هُوَ یُدْرِكُ الْاَبْصَارَۚ-وَ هُوَ اللَّطِیْفُ الْخَبِیْرُ(۱۰۳)

No eyes can penetrate Him, but He penetrates all eyes, and He knows all the mysteries, for He is all-knowing.

6:104

قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ بَصَآىٕرُ مِنْ رَّبِّكُمْۚ-فَمَنْ اَبْصَرَ فَلِنَفْسِهٖۚ-وَ مَنْ عَمِیَ فَعَلَیْهَاؕ-وَ مَاۤ اَنَا عَلَیْكُمْ بِحَفِیْظٍ(۱۰۴)

To you have come signs from your Lord, (and the light of understanding). So any one who sees (and understands) does so for himself, and any one who turns blind shall suffer the consequences alone. (Say:) "I am not a guardian over you (to make you understand)."

6:105

وَ كَذٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ الْاٰیٰتِ وَ لِیَقُوْلُوْا دَرَسْتَ وَ لِنُبَیِّنَهٗ لِقَوْمٍ یَّعْلَمُوْنَ(۱۰۵)

Thus in varied ways We explain Our signs so that they may say: "You have been instructed," and that We might make it clear to those who understand.

6:106

اِتَّبِـعْ مَاۤ اُوْحِیَ اِلَیْكَ مِنْ رَّبِّكَۚ-لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ-وَ اَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ(۱۰۶)

So follow what is sent down to you by your Lord, for homage is due to no one but God, and turn away from idolaters.

6:107

وَ لَوْ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ مَاۤ اَشْرَكُوْاؕ-وَ مَا جَعَلْنٰكَ عَلَیْهِمْ حَفِیْظًاۚ-وَ مَاۤ اَنْتَ عَلَیْهِمْ بِوَكِیْلٍ(۱۰۷)

Had He willed they would not have been idolaters. We have not appointed you their guardian, nor are you their pleader.

6:108

وَ لَا تَسُبُّوا الَّذِیْنَ یَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ فَیَسُبُّوا اللّٰهَ عَدْوًۢا بِغَیْرِ عِلْمٍؕ-كَذٰلِكَ زَیَّنَّا لِكُلِّ اُمَّةٍ عَمَلَهُمْ۪-ثُمَّ اِلٰى رَبِّهِمْ مَّرْجِعُهُمْ فَیُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ(۱۰۸)

Do not revile those who invoke others apart from God, lest they begin to revile God out of malice and ignorance. We have made attractive their deeds to every people. They have to go back to their Lord, when He will tell them what they used to do.

6:109

وَ اَقْسَمُوْا بِاللّٰهِ جَهْدَ اَیْمَانِهِمْ لَىٕنْ جَآءَتْهُمْ اٰیَةٌ لَّیُؤْمِنُنَّ بِهَاؕ-قُلْ اِنَّمَا الْاٰیٰتُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَ مَا یُشْعِرُكُمْۙ-اَنَّهَاۤ اِذَا جَآءَتْ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ(۱۰۹)

They solemnly swear by God: "If a sign comes to us we shall certainly believe in it." Tell them: "The signs are with God." Yet for all you know they will not believe if the signs came to them.

6:110

وَ نُقَلِّبُ اَفْـٕدَتَهُمْ وَ اَبْصَارَهُمْ كَمَا لَمْ یُؤْمِنُوْا بِهٖۤ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَّ نَذَرُهُمْ فِیْ طُغْیَانِهِمْ یَعْمَهُوْنَ۠(۱۱۰)

We shall turn their hearts and their eyes, for they did not believe them at the very first, and leave them to wander perplexed in bewilderment.

6:111

وَ لَوْ اَنَّنَا نَزَّلْنَاۤ اِلَیْهِمُ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةَ وَ كَلَّمَهُمُ الْمَوْتٰى وَ حَشَرْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ كُلَّ شَیْءٍ قُبُلًا مَّا كَانُوْا لِیُؤْمِنُوْۤا اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یَّشَآءَ اللّٰهُ وَ لٰـكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ یَجْهَلُوْنَ(۱۱۱)

Even if We send down the angels to them, and the dead should speak to them, and We gather all things before their eyes, they will not believe, unless God should will, for most of them are ignorant.

6:112

وَ كَذٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِیٍّ عَدُوًّا شَیٰطِیْنَ الْاِنْسِ وَ الْجِنِّ یُوْحِیْ بَعْضُهُمْ اِلٰى بَعْضٍ زُخْرُفَ الْقَوْلِ غُرُوْرًاؕ-وَ لَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ مَا فَعَلُوْهُ فَذَرْهُمْ وَ مَا یَفْتَرُوْنَ(۱۱۲)

That is how We have made for each apostle opponents, the satans among men and jinns, who inspire one another with deceitful talk. But if your Lord had willed they would not have done so. Pay no attention to them and to what they fabricate.

6:113

وَ لِتَصْغٰۤى اِلَیْهِ اَفْـٕدَةُ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ وَ لِیَرْضَوْهُ وَ لِیَقْتَرِفُوْا مَا هُمْ مُّقْتَرِفُوْنَ(۱۱۳)

Let those who do not believe in the life to come, listen to it and be pleased with it, and let them gain what they may gain.

6:114

اَفَغَیْرَ اللّٰهِ اَبْتَغِیْ حَكَمًا وَّ هُوَ الَّذِیْۤ اَنْزَلَ اِلَیْكُمُ الْكِتٰبَ مُفَصَّلًاؕ-وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰتَیْنٰهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ یَعْلَمُوْنَ اَنَّهٗ مُنَزَّلٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ بِالْحَقِّ فَلَا تَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَرِیْنَ(۱۱۴)

(Say): "Then should I seek (the source of) law elsewhere than God, when it is He who has revealed this Book to you, which distinctly explains (everything)?" Those to whom We have given the Book know it has been sent by your Lord in truth. So be not a sceptic.

6:115

وَ تَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقًا وَّ عَدْلًاؕ-لَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمٰتِهٖۚ-وَ هُوَ السَّمِیْعُ الْعَلِیْمُ(۱۱۵)

Perfected are the laws of your Lord in truth and justice, and there is no changing His laws. He is all-hearing and all-knowing.

6:116

وَ اِنْ تُطِعْ اَكْثَرَ مَنْ فِی الْاَرْضِ یُضِلُّوْكَ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِؕ-اِنْ یَّتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَ اِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا یَخْرُصُوْنَ(۱۱۶)

If you follow the majority of people on the earth, they will lead you astray from the path of God, for they follow only conjecture and surmise.

6:117

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ مَنْ یَّضِلُّ عَنْ سَبِیْلِهٖۚ-وَ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِیْنَ(۱۱۷)

Your Lord surely knows those who have strayed from his path, and knows those who are rightly guided.

6:118

فَكُلُوْا مِمَّا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ بِاٰیٰتِهٖ مُؤْمِنِیْنَ(۱۱۸)

Eat only that over which the name of God has been pronounced, if you truly believe in His commands.

6:119

وَ مَا لَكُمْ اَلَّا تَاْكُلُوْا مِمَّا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْهِ وَ قَدْ فَصَّلَ لَكُمْ مَّا حَرَّمَ عَلَیْكُمْ اِلَّا مَا اضْطُرِرْتُمْ اِلَیْهِؕ-وَ اِنَّ كَثِیْرًا لَّیُضِلُّوْنَ بِاَهْوَآىٕهِمْ بِغَیْرِ عِلْمٍؕ-اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِالْمُعْتَدِیْنَ(۱۱۹)

And why should you not eat of that over which the name of God has been pronounced, when He has made it distinctly clear what is forbidden, unless you are constrained to do so. Surely many (men) mislead others into following their vain desires through lack of knowledge. Your Lord certainly knows the transgressors.

6:120

وَ ذَرُوْا ظَاهِرَ الْاِثْمِ وَ بَاطِنَهٗؕ-اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَكْسِبُوْنَ الْاِثْمَ سَیُجْزَوْنَ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَقْتَرِفُوْنَ(۱۲۰)

Discard both the visible and invisible sin. For those who sin will be punished for what they have done.
