Surat Al An`am (1-10)

Surah Al An`am

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

{الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ الظُّلُمَاتِ وَالنُّورَ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِرَبِّهِم يَعْدِلُونَ} [الأنعام: 1]

1- All gratitude and nice praise are for Allah Who created the Heavens and theEearth. This indicates His Full Ability, wide knowledge, and His Greatness in His creation and Administration. He created darkness and light to the benefit of His Servants, day and night. Although the clear signs and the great creatures that are in the universe which indicate the Existence and Oneness of Allah, the disbelievers avoid the truth and associate partners with Allah from His Creatures in worship.

{هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن طِينٍ ثُمَّ قَضَى أَجَلاً وَأَجَلٌ مُّسمًّى عِندَهُ ثُمَّ أَنتُمْ تَمْتَرُونَ} [الأنعام: 2]

2- He is Allah Who created you from clay then destined for you death and made for you the Day of Recompense which He singled Himself out with the knowledge of its time, so it is hidden from all creatures except  He. However, you doubt and deny resurrection without thinking of the ability of the Creator and what He created?

{وَهُوَ اللّهُ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَفِي الأَرْضِ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّكُمْ وَجَهرَكُمْ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُونَ} [الأنعام: 3]

3- He is Allah the only worshipped in Heavens and on earth and He is the Disposer in them. Everyone subjects to His Greatness, under His Glory, and knows what you conceal and what you show publicly, either sayings or doings, and knows the good and evil things you do.

{وَمَا تَأْتِيهِم مِّنْ آيَةٍ مِّنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلاَّ كَانُواْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ} [الأنعام: 4]

4- Whatever a sign was given to the obstinate polytheists or we give a miracle is to show the Oneness of Allah and affirm the truthfulness of His Messenger, but they refuse it and escape from it.

{فَقَدْ كَذَّبُواْ بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاءهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِيهِمْ أَنبَاء مَا كَانُواْ بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ} [الأنعام: 5]

5- They denied the Qur'an and turned away from it when it came to them part by part and they will see the consequences of their denial and the bad results of their mockery and indifference, then they shall realize that it is the truth from their Lord.

{أَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍ مَّكَّنَّاهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ مَا لَمْ نُمَكِّن لَّكُمْ وَأَرْسَلْنَا السَّمَاء عَلَيْهِم مِّدْرَاراً وَجَعَلْنَا الأَنْهَارَ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهِمْ فَأَهْلَكْنَاهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَأَنْشَأْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْناً آخَرِينَ} [الأنعام: 6]

6- Do not the disbelievers take a lesson from the history of those who anteceded them and see how many nations had been destroyed before them despite the power, wealth, children, long life, prosperity, and civilization as we did not provide you with. Moreover, we showered them with rains, gushed the fountains for them, and rivers were running under their dwellings. Therefore, they were in fertility and Luxury, but they disbelieved and did not thank Allah for the blessing, denied the messengers, mocked at their miracles,  and thought that their kingdom will not be removed and claimed to be the strongest, as a result, We destroyed them with the sins they had committed and We did not keep any of them alive. After that, We created another generation after their destruction, so beware to be afflicted as they were afflicted and you are not dearer to Allah than them.

{وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ كِتَاباً فِي قِرْطَاسٍ فَلَمَسُوهُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ لَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ إِنْ هَـذَا إِلاَّ سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ} [الأنعام: 7]

7- They are obstinate disbelievers and if We had sent down to them a book from the sky and they saw it with their own eyes and touched it with their hands, they would have denied these material proofs that prove the revelation of the Book. They say: No doubt this is a clear sorcery and not a real book!

{وَقَالُواْ لَوْلا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ وَلَوْ أَنزَلْنَا مَلَكاً لَّقُضِيَ الأمْرُ ثُمَّ لاَ يُنظَرُونَ} [الأنعام: 8]

8- The disbelievers also said in stubbornness and arrogance: Had it been better than an angel comes down from the sky to tell the people that he is a messenger from Allah! They mean that an angel comes down in his real image which is not possible. If We had sent an angle as they wished, they would have been destroyed because of the horrid scene they would see in addition to their weakness. They will not be granted respite after sending him down to submit and surrender or repent because death will precede them.

From the other hand, if Allah sends down an angel and they refuse to believe, He will destroy them, therefore, He did not send him down so that they would not deserve punishment.

{وَلَوْ جَعَلْنَاهُ مَلَكاً لَّجَعَلْنَاهُ رَجُلاً وَلَلَبَسْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّا يَلْبِسُونَ} [الأنعام: 9]

9- If We send to them one of the angels to be a sent prophet or to affirm the message of a sent prophet, We will send him in the image of human being so that he could be understood when he speaks. If he is sent in his original image, it will be impossible to look at him and if he is sent in the image of a human being, they will be confused and say: He is not an angel, he is a human being then claim falsely against his message as they did with other messages.

{وَلَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِالَّذِينَ سَخِرُواْ مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ} [الأنعام: 10]

10- Those disbelievers mocked at the messengers who were before you as they mocked at you, as a result, Allah punished them because of their mockery.
