Quran Chapter 6 – 165 (Pt-8, Stg-2) (L-921) - درس قرآن

What does Chapter Six teach us

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)

Basic principles and rules of Islam have been manifested very beautifully in this Chapter. Some of them have been appended below, so that those should be studied thoughtfully once again; keeping these points in view, and till the time those are not understood thoroughly, one should continue trying to understand them, and then explanation of such hints should be searched during daily recitation, with which the entire Glorious Qur’an is full.  

1.   The heavens, the earth and all those things, which these contain, have been created by Allah Almighty and He is Who brings them up. Therefore, the human being should bow only before Him, neither there should be any hope and nor any fear from any one else except Him.

2.   Noble Qur’an is the last Scripture from Allah Almighty and it contains the entire laws and complete code of life for all the people until expiry of the entire world, for every time. There is a great danger for them, who disobey and do not follow its Revelations. To frighten from the result of disobedience, the Messenger of Allah Almighty, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has been commanded by revealing upon Him this Word: Go and deliver Its Message to all people, so that they should go on the Straight Path having fear of God and be saved from the ruin. This very duty rests also upon the nation of the Last Messenger (Muslim Ummah).


3.   Holy Qur’an preaches for that same Religion, which was established in the beginning of human life, and the Messengers and Prophets (peace be upon Them) used to come during every time and at every place for spreading and teaching its regulations and instructions. In this connection, Holy Qur’an is the last Scripture, revealed for the guidance of entire mankind, and until the world is firm; complete guidance exists in It.

4.   None has any power to make the Divine Law and establish It; that is to say; the Religion. Neither any individual can fix any deed compulsory (either for himself or for others) according to own desires and nor can forbid any one from any work. Its straight and simple meaning is that “Making anything lawful or forbidden is in the Power of Allah Almighty”, no mankind can interfere in this matter. However, those people who have perfect knowledge of the Religion and who have sincerity and are pure from selfishness, they can continue the Commands of Allah Almighty in reasonable form according to occasion, on the condition that. Islamic spirit stands firm and no interference takes place in good rites.


5.   It is the Islamic spirit that everything should be for the sake of Allah Almighty and for acquiring His Willingness. None should reap any kind of unlawful advantage from any other. Neither any one should trouble and nor compel any other. Take care of Justice in every matter and be saved from oppression. Any such work should not be committed, due to which, any person is somehow tortured or injured.  


Good Rites are those deeds, which have been determined by the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) Himself and which are ongoing continuously with effect from fourteen centuries, and upon which, the entire Muslims have been acting regularly in every time. That is to say; form, time, terms and conditions, cleanliness and method of the prayer, number of rak-‘aat (in standing condition for recitation of a portion of the Holy Qur’anRakuu’  (bowing head and upper part of body in prayer), Sajuud (bowing so as to touch the ground with the forehead in adoration), and Qa’-dah – sitting position for reciting Tashah-had), measurement of Zakaah (poor-due) and method of its payment and collection, time and method of fasting, time of pilgrimage and its method. These four things have been running constantly. No one has any right to change them. In the same manner, there is a standard of morality and mutual affairs, which has been established by Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). These cannot be changed also. Keeping regard of all these matters, those persons, who are righteous, sincere, familiar with the law and shariah can make timely codes of issues, upon which, shura council of alike persons are agreed. These all matters are understandable from this verse.
