الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ الظُّلُمَاتِ وَالنُّورَ ۖ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ يَعْدِلُون

هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ طِينٍ ثُمَّ قَضَىٰ أَجَلًا ۖ وَأَجَلٌ مُسَمًّى عِنْدَهُ ۖ ثُمَّ أَنْتُمْ تَمْتَرُونَ

Surah Al-An'am is the sixth chapter of the Quran, revealed in Makkah during the early period of Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) prophethood. It consists of 165 verses and is named after the mention of cattle and livestock in several verses.

The surah begins with affirming the oneness of Allah and the importance of monotheism (Tawheed). It emphasizes that Allah is the sole Creator, Sustainer, and Judge, and there should be no partners or intermediaries in worship.The concept of shirk (associating partners with Allah) is strongly condemned, and the consequences of disbelief and polytheism are highlighters.

Throughout the surah, various examples and analogies are presented, including those related to cattle and livestock. These examples are used to convey deeper meanings and lessons. For instance, the sustenance provided by cattle and the process of reproduction are cited as signs of Allah's power and His ability to provide for His creation.

Tawheed :-

Surah Al-Anam repeatedly emphasizes the oneness of Allah and prohibits associating partners with Him.

Allah states:-

"And there has come to them no sign from the signs of their Lord except that they turned away from it. So, they have denied the truth when it came to them, but there will come to them the news of what they used to ridicule." (verse4_5)

Allah says:-

"And with Him are the keys of the unseen; none knows them except Him. And He knows what is on the land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls but that He knows it. And no grain is there within the darknesses of the earth and no moist or dry [thing] but that it is [written] in a clear record." (verse59)

Allah says:-

 "Indeed, Allah [alone] causes the grain and the date-seed to split and sprout. He brings forth the living from the dead and brings forth the dead from the living. That is Allah; so how are you deluded?"(verse95) 

Allah says:-

 "That is Allah, your Lord; there is no deity except Him, the Creator of all things, so worship Him. And He is Disposer of all things."(verse102)

 This verse underscores the importance of recognizing Allah as the only deity worthy of worship and rejecting any form of polytheism or idolatry.

Prophet Jesus (Isa in Arabic):

Surah Al-Anam recognizes Prophet Jesus as a prophet and envoy of Allah.

The surah underscores the unity of Allah and deny any notion of association or partnership with Him.
