Summary of Surah
‘Al-‘An-‘aam
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.)
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)
‘An-‘aam is
plural of Na-‘am. Na-‘am means an animal. Allah Almighty
has made the animals and the cattle, servants of the mankind, but some people
make some of them unlawful at their own. This Chapter explains about those
cattle and animals. In this connection, the word ‘An-‘aam has
been used many times in this chapter, so this Surah was named
as Suratul-‘An-‘aam.
This
Chapter was revealed at a time completely in Makkah except a
few verses, which were revealed probably in Madinah. The time of
its revelation is one year Before Hijrah and actually its teachings
are about the Oneness of God Almighty and rejection of all false fancies, in
which more than One God are believed in, and the people bow before other things
respectfully except Allah Almighty and worship them, and have faith
into them such qualities and virtues, which are specified only
for Allah Almighty.
Before
the revelation of Holy Qur’aan in the world, no anything would
have been left possibly, which was not worshipped. It was common to make
partners of Allah Almighty by including others and believing His excellence and
virtues into them also. The Fire-worshippers and Magi used to say: The God, who
created good things of the world, is another person, and who created bad things,
is someone else. They used to say the good things as ‘the Dawn” i.e. Noor (Light),
but the bad things were called by them “the Darkness” i.e. Zulmat.
They were convinced of these two gods. The Indians used to believe in three
hundred and thirty million demi-gods. Every demi-god was appointed for any
separate function. The Arian society strived and decreased them, but even then,
they fixed ‘the matter and the soul’ eternal, immortal like God, and firm and
non-creature. The Idolaters of the Arab used to believe that the trees and
stones etc. were partners and helpers also in the Divinity
of Allah Almighty.
The Jews determined the virtues
of Allah Almighty so much common that everyone can be either equal to
Him, or superior to Him. Besides this, they worshipped the calf. The Christians
fixed the father, the son and the Holy Spirit – equal partners in the Divinity.
In short, it was very difficult to find any convinced person of One God
(Allah Almighty). Those all faiths have been determined false and set at
naught in this Surah. And it is taught that there is no partner
of Allah Almighty, as He is Single in His Kind, in the same
way, His virtues are odd too from all others. Only He is, Who has created the
entire things with His Own Omnipotence, and until He will desire, will keep
them up. And whenever, He will wish, will finish them. Security, safety and
establishment of the world are only in His hand. He has prescribed different
and separate Laws of life for every kind of His creature. He is also the
Creator of the humankind and for the guidance of human beings, He has sent
Messengers and Prophets (peace be upon Them), out of which, there is recital
about many Messengers (peace be upon Him) in this Chapter.
