Summary of Surah
‘Al-‘An-‘aam (Cattle)
Surah ‘Al-‘An-‘aam (Cattle) – Chapter – 6)
‘A-‘uu-zu
Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)
‘An-‘aam is
plural of Na-‘am. Na-‘am means an animal. Allah Almighty has made the
animals and the cattle, servants of the mankind, but some people make some of
them unlawful at their own. This Chapter explains about those cattle and
animals. In this connection, the word ‘An-‘aam has been used
many times in this chapter, so this Surah was named as Suratul-‘An-‘aam.
This Chapter was revealed at a time completely
in Makkah except a few verses, which were revealed probably in Madinah.
The time of its revelation is one year Before Hijrah and actually
its teachings are about the Oneness of God Almighty and rejection of all false
fancies, in which more than One God are believed in, and the people bow before
other things respectfully except Allah Almighty
and worship them, and have faith into them such qualities and virtues, which
are specified only for Allah Almighty.
Before the revelation of Holy Qur’aan in
the world, no anything would have been left possibly, which was not worshipped.
It was common to make partners of Allah
Almighty by including others and believing His excellence and virtues
into them also. The Fire-worshippers and Magi used to say: The God, who created
good things of the world, is another person, and who created bad things, is
someone else. They used to say the good things as ‘the Dawn” i.e. Noor (Light), but the bad things were
called by them “the Darkness” i.e. Zulmat. They were convinced of
these two gods. The Indians used to believe in three hundred and thirty million
demi-gods. Every demi-god was appointed for any separate function. The Arian
society strived and decreased them, but even then, they fixed ‘the matter and
the soul’ eternal, immortal like God, and firm and non-creature. The Idolaters
of the Arab used to believe that the trees and stones etc. were partners and
helpers also in the Divinity of Allah Almighty.
The Jews determined the virtues of Allah Almighty so much common
that everyone can be either equal to Him, or superior to Him. Besides this,
they worshipped the calf. The Christians fixed the father, the son and the Holy
Spirit – equal partners in the Divinity. In short, it was very difficult to
find any convinced person of One God (Allah Almighty).
Those all faiths have been determined false and set at naught in this Surah.
And it is taught that there is no partner of Allah Almighty, as He is Single in His Kind, in the same way,
His virtues are odd too from all others. Only He is, Who has created the entire
things with His Own Omnipotence, and until He will desire, will keep them up.
And whenever, He will wish, will finish them. Security, safety and
establishment of the world are only in His hand. He has prescribed different
and separate Laws of life for every kind of His creature. He is also the Creator
of the humankind and for the guidance of human beings, He has sent Messengers
and Prophets (peace be upon Them), out of which, there is recital about many
Messengers (peace be upon Him) in this Chapter.
