Surah Name: Al-An'am Meaning: The Cattle
Key Points
- Revealed at Makkah
- The entire Sarah was revealed at one time during the last year of the Holy Prophet-SW stay at Makkah. It, therefore, sums up the major articles of faith, the unity of Allaah-SWT, life beyond life, and the Prophethood together with their practical application to human life. Simultaneously, it rejects the wrong beliefs of the Polytheists, giving answers to their objections-and comforts the Holy Prophet-SW and his Companions-RAU at this most critical juncture, against the reckless persecutions of the non-believers. It ends up with the solemn declaration chosen for the true believers: “Surely my Salaat, my devotion, my life and my death are all for Allaah-SWT".
- Excellence in every aspect is attributed to the Creator of the heavens and the earth: of the light and the darkness
