Surah Al-'An`ām (The Cattle) in English

1. فقطع دابر القوم الذين ظلموا والحمد لله رب العالمين

   45

   Thus the wrongdoing lot were rooted out, and all praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.

   fa-quṭiʿa dābiru l-qawmi lladhīna ẓalamū wa-l-ḥamdu li-llāhi rabbi l-ʿālamīna

2. قل أرأيتم إن أخذ الله سمعكم وأبصاركم وختم على قلوبكم من إله غير الله يأتيكم به انظر كيف نصرف الآيات ثم هم يصدفون

   46

   Say, ‘Tell me, should Allah take away your hearing and your sight and set a seal on your hearts, which god other than Allah can bring it [back] to you?’ Look, how We paraphrase the signs variously; nevertheless they turn away.

   qul ʾa-raʾaytum ʾin ʾakhadha llāhu samʿakum wa-ʾabṣārakum wa-khatama ʿalā qulūbikum man ʾilāhun ghayru llāhi yaʾtīkum bihi nẓur kayfa nuṣarrifu l-ʾāyāti thumma hum yaṣdifūna

3. قل أرأيتكم إن أتاكم عذاب الله بغتة أو جهرة هل يهلك إلا القوم الظالمون

   47

   Say, ‘Tell me, should Allah’s punishment overtake you suddenly or visibly, will anyone be destroyed except the wrongdoing lot?’

   qul ʾa-raʾaytakum ʾin ʾatākum ʿadhābu llāhi baghtatan ʾaw jahratan hal yuhlaku ʾillā l-qawmu ẓ-ẓālimūna

4. وما نرسل المرسلين إلا مبشرين ومنذرين فمن آمن وأصلح فلا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون

   48

   We do not send the apostles except as bearers of good news and warners. As for those who are faithful and righteous, they will have no fear, nor will they grieve.

   wa-mā nursilu l-mursalīna ʾillā mubashshirīna wa-mundhirīna fa-man ʾāmana wa-ʾaṣlaḥa fa-lā khawfun ʿalayhim wa-lā hum yaḥzanūna

5. والذين كذبوا بآياتنا يمسهم العذاب بما كانوا يفسقون

   49

   But as for those who deny Our signs, the punishment shall befall them because of the transgressions they used to commit.

   wa-lladhīna kadhdhabū bi-ʾāyātinā yamassuhumu l-ʿadhābu bi-mā kānū yafsuqūna

6. قل لا أقول لكم عندي خزائن الله ولا أعلم الغيب ولا أقول لكم إني ملك إن أتبع إلا ما يوحى إلي قل هل يستوي الأعمى والبصير أفلا تتفكرون

   50

   Say, ‘I do not say to you that I possess the treasuries of Allah, nor do I know the Unseen, nor do I say to you that I am an angel. I follow only what is revealed to me.’ Say, ‘Are the blind one and the seer equal? So do you not reflect?’

   qul lā ʾaqūlu lakum ʿindī khazāʾinu llāhi wa-lā ʾaʿlamu l-ghayba wa-lā ʾaqūlu lakum ʾinnī malakun ʾin ʾattabiʿu ʾillā mā yūḥā ʾilayya qul hal yastawī l-ʾaʿmā wa-l-baṣīru ʾa-fa-lā tatafakkarūna

7. وأنذر به الذين يخافون أن يحشروا إلى ربهم ليس لهم من دونه ولي ولا شفيع لعلهم يتقون

   51

   And warn by its means those who fear being mustered toward their Lord, besides whom they shall have neither any guardian nor any intercessor, so that they may be Godwary.

   wa-ʾandhir bihi lladhīna yakhāfūna ʾan yuḥsharū ʾilā rabbihim laysa lahum min dūnihī waliyyun wa-lā shafīʿun laʿallahum yattaqūna

8. ولا تطرد الذين يدعون ربهم بالغداة والعشي يريدون وجهه ما عليك من حسابهم من شيء وما من حسابك عليهم من شيء فتطردهم فتكون من الظالمين

   52

   Do not drive away those who supplicate their Lord morning and evening desiring His face. Neither are you accountable for them in any way, nor are they accountable for you in any way, so that you may drive them away and thus become one of the wrongdoers.

   wa-lā taṭrudi lladhīna yadʿūna rabbahum bi-l-ghadāti wa-l-ʿashiyyi yurīdūna wajhahū mā ʿalayka min ḥisābihim min shayʾin wa-mā min ḥisābika ʿalayhim min shayʾin fa-taṭrudahum fa-takūna mina ẓ-ẓālimīna
