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

1. الذين آمنوا ولم يلبسوا إيمانهم بظلم أولئك لهم الأمن وهم مهتدون

   82

   Those who have faith and do not taint their faith with wrongdoing—for such there shall be safety, and they are the [rightly] guided.’

   alladhīna ʾāmanū wa-lam yalbisū ʾīmānahum bi-ẓulmin ʾulāʾika lahumu l-ʾamnu wa-hum muhtadūna

2. وتلك حجتنا آتيناها إبراهيم على قومه نرفع درجات من نشاء إن ربك حكيم عليم

   83

   This was Our argument that We gave to Abraham against his people. We raise in rank whomever We wish. Indeed your Lord is all-wise, all-knowing.

   wa-tilka ḥujjatunā ʾātaynāhā ʾibrāhīma ʿalā qawmihī narfaʿu darajātin man nashāʾu ʾinna rabbaka ḥakīmun ʿalīmun

3. ووهبنا له إسحاق ويعقوب كلا هدينا ونوحا هدينا من قبل ومن ذريته داوود وسليمان وأيوب ويوسف وموسى وهارون وكذلك نجزي المحسنين

   84

   And We gave him Isaac and Jacob and guided each of them. And Noah We had guided before, and from his offspring, David and Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses and Aaron—thus do We reward the virtuous—

   wa-wahabnā lahū ʾisḥāqa wa-yaʿqūba kullan hadaynā wa-nuḥan hadaynā min qablu wa-min dhurriyyatihī dāwūda wa-sulaymāna wa-ʾayyūba wa-yūsufa wa-mūsā wa-hārūna wa-ka-dhālika najzī l-muḥsinīna

4. وزكريا ويحيى وعيسى وإلياس كل من الصالحين

   85

   and Zechariah, John, Jesus and Ilyas—each of them among the righteous—

   wa-zakariyyā wa-yaḥyā wa-ʿīsā wa-ʾilyāsa kullun mina ṣ-ṣāliḥīna

5. وإسماعيل واليسع ويونس ولوطا وكلا فضلنا على العالمين

   86

   and Ishmael, Elisha, Jonah and Lot—each We graced over all the nations—

   wa-ʾismāʿīla wa-l-yasaʿa wa-yūnusa wa-lūṭan wa-kullan faḍḍalnā ʿalā l-ʿālamīna

6. ومن آبائهم وذرياتهم وإخوانهم واجتبيناهم وهديناهم إلى صراط مستقيم

   87

   and from among their fathers, their descendants and brethren—We chose them and guided them to a straight path.

   wa-min ʾābāʾihim wa-dhurriyyātihim wa-ʾikhwānihim wa-jtabaynāhum wa-hadaynāhum ʾilā ṣirāṭin mustaqīmin

7. ذلك هدى الله يهدي به من يشاء من عباده ولو أشركوا لحبط عنهم ما كانوا يعملون

   88

   That is Allah’s guidance: with it, He guides whomever He wishes of His servants. But were they to ascribe any partners [to Allah], what they used to do would not avail them.

   dhālika hudā llāhi yahdī bihī man yashāʾu min ʿibādihī wa-law ʾashrakū la-ḥabiṭa ʿanhum mā kānū yaʿmalūna

8. أولئك الذين آتيناهم الكتاب والحكم والنبوة فإن يكفر بها هؤلاء فقد وكلنا بها قوما ليسوا بها بكافرين

   89

   They are the ones whom We gave the Book, judgement and prophethood. So if these disbelieve in them, We have certainly entrusted them to a people who will never disbelieve in them.

   ʾulāʾika lladhīna ʾātaynāhumu l-kitāba wa-l-ḥukma wa-n-nubuwwata fa-ʾin yakfur bihā hāʾulāʾi fa-qad wakkalnā bihā qawman laysū bihā bi-kāfirīna

9. أولئك الذين هدى الله فبهداهم اقتده قل لا أسألكم عليه أجرا إن هو إلا ذكرى للعالمين

   90

   They are the ones whom Allah has guided. So follow their guidance. Say, ‘I do not ask you any recompense for it. It is just an admonition for all the nations.’

   ʾulāʾika lladhīna hadā llāhu fa-bi-hudāhumu qtadih qul lā ʾasʾalukum ʿalayhi ʾajran ʾin huwa ʾillā dhikrā li-l-ʿālamīna
