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

1. إن الله فالق الحب والنوى يخرج الحي من الميت ومخرج الميت من الحي ذلكم الله فأنى تؤفكون

   95

   Indeed Allah is the splitter of the grain and the pit. He brings forth the living from the dead and He brings forth the dead from the living. That is Allah! Then where do you stray?

   ʾinna llāha fāliqu l-ḥabbi wa-n-nawā yukhriju l-ḥayya mina l-mayyiti wa-mukhriju l-mayyiti mina l-ḥayyi dhālikumu llāhu fa-ʾannā tuʾfakūna

2. فالق الإصباح وجعل الليل سكنا والشمس والقمر حسبانا ذلك تقدير العزيز العليم

   96

   Splitter of the dawn, He has made the night for rest, and the sun and the moon for calculation. That is the ordaining of the All-mighty, the All-knowing.

   fāliqu l-ʾiṣbāḥi wa-jaʿala l-layla sakanan wa-sh-shamsa wa-l-qamara ḥusbānan dhālika taqdīru l-ʿazīzi l-ʿalīmi

3. وهو الذي جعل لكم النجوم لتهتدوا بها في ظلمات البر والبحر قد فصلنا الآيات لقوم يعلمون

   97

   It is He who made the stars for you, so that you may be guided by them in the darkness of land and sea. We have certainly elaborated the signs for a people who have knowledge.

   wa-huwa lladhī jaʿala lakumu n-nujūma li-tahtadū bihā fī ẓulumāti l-barri wa-l-baḥri qad faṣṣalnā l-ʾāyāti li-qawmin yaʿlamūna

4. وهو الذي أنشأكم من نفس واحدة فمستقر ومستودع قد فصلنا الآيات لقوم يفقهون

   98

   It is He who created you from a single soul, then there is the [enduring] abode and the place of temporary lodging. We have certainly elaborated the signs for a people who understand.

   wa-huwa lladhī ʾanshaʾakum min nafsin wāḥidatin fa-mustaqarrun wa-mustawdaʿun qad faṣṣalnā l-ʾāyāti li-qawmin yafqahūna

5. وهو الذي أنزل من السماء ماء فأخرجنا به نبات كل شيء فأخرجنا منه خضرا نخرج منه حبا متراكبا ومن النخل من طلعها قنوان دانية وجنات من أعناب والزيتون والرمان مشتبها وغير متشابه انظروا إلى ثمره إذا أثمر وينعه إن في ذلكم لآيات لقوم يؤمنون

   99

   It is He who sends down water from the sky, and brings forth with it every kind of growing thing. Then from it We bring forth vegetation from which We produce the grain, in clusters, and from the palm-tree, from the spathes of it, low-hanging clusters [of dates], and gardens of grapes, olives and pomegranates, similar and dissimilar. Look at its fruit as it fructifies and ripens. Indeed, there are signs in that for a people who have faith.

   wa-huwa lladhī ʾanzala mina s-samāʾi māʾan fa-ʾakhrajnā bihī nabāta kulli shayʾin fa-ʾakhrajnā minhu khaḍiran nukhriju minhu ḥabban mutarākiban wa-mina n-nakhli min talʿihā qinwānun dāniyatun wa-jannātin min ʾaʿnābin wa-z-zaytūna wa-r-rummāna mushtabihan wa-ghayra mutashābihin-i nẓurū ʾilā thamarihī ʾidhā ʾathmara wa-yanʿihī ʾinna fī dhālikum la-ʾāyātin li-qawmin yuʾminūna

6. وجعلوا لله شركاء الجن وخلقهم وخرقوا له بنين وبنات بغير علم سبحانه وتعالى عما يصفون

   100

   They make the jinn partners of Allah, though He has created them, and carve out sons and daughters for Him, without any knowledge. Immaculate is He and exalted above what they allege [concerning Him]!

   wa-jaʿalū li-llāhi shurakāʾa l-jinna wa-khalaqahum wa-kharaqū lahū banīna wa-banātin bi-ghayri ʿilmin subḥānahū wa-taʿālā ʿammā yaṣifūna

7. بديع السماوات والأرض أنى يكون له ولد ولم تكن له صاحبة وخلق كل شيء وهو بكل شيء عليم

   101

   The originator of the heavens and the earth—how could He have a child when He has had no spouse? He created all things and He has knowledge of all things.

   badīʿu s-samāwāti wa-l-ʾarḍi ʾannā yakūnu lahū waladun wa-lam takun lahū ṣāḥibatun wa-khalaqa kulla shayʾin wa-huwa bi-kulli shayʾin ʿalīmun
