6 - Al-An'am

وَہُوَالَّذِيْۗ اَنْشَاَ جَنّٰتٍ مَّعْرُوْشٰتٍ وَّغَيْرَ مَعْرُوْشٰتٍ وَّالنَّخْلَ وَالزَّرْعَ مُخْتَلِفًا اُكُلُہٗ وَالزَّيْتُوْنَ وَالرُّمَّانَ مُتَشَابِہًا وَّغَيْرَ مُتَشَابِہٍ۝۰ۭ كُلُوْا مِنْ ثَمَرِہٖۗ اِذَاۗ اَثْمَرَ وَاٰتُوْا حَقَّہٗ يَوْمَ حَصَادِہٖ۝۰ۡۖ وَلَا تُسْرِفُوْا۝۰ۭ اِنَّہٗ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِيْنَ۝۱۴۱ۙ
Wahuwa allathee anshaa jannatin maAArooshatin waghayra maAArooshatin waalnnakhla waalzzarAAa mukhtalifan okuluhu waalzzaytoona waalrrummana mutashabihan waghayra mutashabihin kuloo min thamarihi itha athmara waatoo haqqahu yawma hasadihi wala tusrifoo innahu la yuhibbu almusrifeena

English

Ahmed Ali

It is He who grew the gardens, trellised and bowered, and palm trees and land sown with corn and many other seeds, and olives and pomegranates, alike and yet unlike. So eat of their fruit when they are in fruit, and give on the day of harvesting His due, and do not be extravagant, for God does not love those who are prodigal.

141

وَمِنَ الْاَنْعَامِ حَمُوْلَۃً وَّفَرْشًا۝۰ۭ كُلُوْا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللہُ وَ لَا تَتَّبِعُوْا خُطُوٰتِ الشَّيْطٰنِ۝۰ۭ اِنَّہٗ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِيْنٌ۝۱۴۲ۙ
Wamina alanAAami hamoolatan wafarshan kuloo mimma razaqakumu Allahu wala tattabiAAoo khutuwati alshshaytani innahu lakum AAaduwwun mubeenun

English

Ahmed Ali

He has created beasts of burden and cattle for slaughter. So eat of what God has given you for food, and do not walk in the footsteps of Satan who is surely your declared enemy.

142

ثَمٰنِيَۃَ اَزْوَاجٍ۝۰ۚ مِنَ الضَّاْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَمِنَ الْمَعْزِ اثْنَيْنِ۝۰ۭ قُلْ ءٰۗالذَّكَرَيْنِ حَرَّمَ اَمِ الْاُنْثَـيَيْنِ اَمَّا اشْـتَمَلَتْ عَلَيْہِ اَرْحَامُ الْاُنْثَـيَيْنِ۝۰ۭ نَبِّــــُٔــوْنِيْ بِعِلْمٍ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ۝۱۴۳ۙ
Thamaniyata azwajin mina alddani ithnayni wamina almaAAzi ithnayni qul alththakarayni harrama ami alonthayayni amma ishtamalat AAalayhi arhamu alonthayayni nabbioonee biAAilmin in kuntum sadiqeena

English

Ahmed Ali

There are eight pairs, two of the species of sheep and two of goats. Ask them which has He forbidden, the two males or the two females, or what the females carry in their wombs? Produce the sanction if you are truthful.

143

وَمِنَ الْاِبِلِ اثْنَيْنِ وَمِنَ الْبَقَرِ اثْنَيْنِ۝۰ۭ قُلْ ءٰۗالذَّكَرَيْنِ حَرَّمَ اَمِ الْاُنْثَـيَيْنِ اَمَّا اشْتَمَلَتْ عَلَيْہِ اَرْحَامُ الْاُنْثَـيَيْنِ۝۰ۭ اَمْ كُنْتُمْ شُہَدَاۗءَ اِذْ وَصّٰىكُمُ اللہُ بِھٰذَا۝۰ۚ فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰي عَلَي اللہِ كَذِبًا لِّيُضِلَّ النَّاسَ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ لَا يَہْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِـمِيْنَ۝۱۴۴ۧ
Wamina alibili ithnayni wamina albaqari ithnayni qul alththakarayni harrama ami alonthayayni amma ishtamalat AAalayhi arhamu alonthayayni am kuntum shuhadaa ith wassakumu Allahu bihatha faman athlamu mimmani iftara AAala Allahi kathiban liyudilla alnnasa bighayri AAilmin inna Allaha la yahdee alqawma alththalimeena

English

Ahmed Ali

And there are two of camels and two of oxen. Ask them: "Which has He forbidden, the two males or the two females, or what the females carry in their wombs?" Were you present at the time God issued this command?" Who then could be more wicked than he who fabricates a lie and ascribes it to God to mislead men, without any knowledge? God does not guide the miscreants.

144

قُلْ لَّاۗ اَجِدُ فِيْ مَاۗ اُوْحِيَ اِلَيَّ مُحَرَّمًا عَلٰي طَاعِمٍ يَّطْعَمُہٗۗ اِلَّاۗ اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ مَيْتَۃً اَوْ دَمًا مَّسْفُوْحًا اَوْ لَحْمَ خِنْزِيْرٍ فَاِنَّہٗ رِجْسٌ اَوْ فِسْقًا اُہِلَّ لِغَيْرِ اللہِ بِہٖ۝۰ۚ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَّلَا عَادٍ فَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ۝۱۴۵
Qul la ajidu fee ma oohiya ilayya muharraman AAala taAAimin yatAAamuhu illa an yakoona maytatan aw daman masfoohan aw lahma khinzeerin fainnahu rijsun aw fisqan ohilla lighayri Allahi bihi famani idturra ghayra baghin wala AAadin fainna rabbaka ghafoorun raheemun

English

Ahmed Ali

You tell them: "In all the commands revealed to me I find nothing which men have been forbidden to eat except carrion and running blood and flesh of the swine for it is unclean, or meat consecrated in the name of some other than God, which is profane. But if one is constrained to eat of these without craving or reverting to it, then surely your Lord is forgiving and kind."

145

وَعَلَي الَّذِيْنَ ہَادُوْا حَرَّمْنَا كُلَّ ذِيْ ظُفُرٍ۝۰ۚ وَمِنَ الْبَقَرِ وَالْغَنَمِ حَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْہِمْ شُحُوْمَہُمَاۗ اِلَّا مَا حَمَلَتْ ظُہُوْرُہُمَاۗ اَوِ الْحَــوَايَاۗ اَوْ مَا اخْتَلَطَ بِعَظْمٍ۝۰ۭ ذٰلِكَ جَزَيْنٰہُمْ بِبَغْيِہِمْ۝۰ۡۖ وَاِنَّا لَصٰدِقُوْنَ۝۱۴۶
WaAAala allatheena hadoo harramna kulla thee thufurin wamina albaqari waalghanami harramna AAalayhim shuhoomahuma illa ma hamalat thuhooruhuma awi alhawaya aw ma ikhtalata biAAathmin thalika jazaynahum bibaghyihim wainna lasadiqoona

English

Ahmed Ali

We made unlawful for the Jews all animals with claws or nails, and the fat of the oxen and sheep, except that on their backs or their intestines, or which remains attached to their bones. This was the punishment for their insubordination; and what We say is true.

146

فَاِنْ كَذَّبُوْكَ فَقُلْ رَّبُّكُمْ ذُوْ رَحْمَۃٍ وَّاسِعَۃٍ۝۰ۚ وَلَا يُرَدُّ بَاْسُہٗ عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ۝۱۴۷
Fain kaththabooka faqul rabbukum thoo rahmatin wasiAAatin wala yuraddu basuhu AAani alqawmi almujrimeena

English

Ahmed Ali

If they call you a liar, tell them infinite is the mercy of your Lord; but His vengeance will not be turned back from the sinners.

147

سَيَقُوْلُ الَّذِيْنَ اَشْرَكُوْا لَوْ شَاۗءَ اللہُ مَاۗ اَشْرَكْنَا وَلَاۗ اٰبَاۗؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ۝۰ۭ كَذٰلِكَ كَذَّبَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِہِمْ حَتّٰي ذَاقُوْا بَاْسَـنَا۝۰ۭ قُلْ ہَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ مِّنْ عِلْمٍ فَتُخْرِجُوْہُ لَنَا۝۰ۭ اِنْ تَتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَاِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا تَخْرُصُوْنَ۝۱۴۸
Sayaqoolu allatheena ashrakoo law shaa Allahu ma ashrakna wala abaona wala harramna min shayin kathalika kaththaba allatheena min qablihim hatta thaqoo basana qul hal AAindakum min AAilmin fatukhrijoohu lana in tattabiAAoona illa alththanna wain antum illa takhrusoona

English

Ahmed Ali

But the idolaters say: "If God had so willed we would not have associated (others with Him), nor would have our fathers, nor would we have forbidden any thing." So had others denied before them, and had to taste Our punishment in the end. Ask them: "Have you any knowledge? Then display it. You follow nothing but conjecture, and are nothing but liars."

148

قُلْ فَلِلّٰہِ الْحُجَّۃُ الْبَالِغَۃُ۝۰ۚ فَلَوْ شَاۗءَ لَہَدٰىكُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَ۝۱۴۹
Qul falillahi alhujjatu albalighatu falaw shaa lahadakum ajmaAAeena

English

Ahmed Ali

Say: "To God belongs the consummate argument. Had He willed He would surely have guided all of you aright."

149

قُلْ ہَلُمَّ شُہَدَاۗءَكُمُ الَّذِيْنَ يَشْہَدُوْنَ اَنَّ اللہَ حَرَّمَ ھٰذَا۝۰ۚ فَاِنْ شَہِدُوْا فَلَا تَشْہَدْ مَعَہُمْ۝۰ۚ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ اَہْوَاۗءَ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَالَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَۃِ وَہُمْ بِرَبِّہِمْ يَعْدِلُوْنَ۝۱۵۰ۧ
Qul halumma shuhadaakumu allatheena yashhadoona anna Allaha harrama hatha fain shahidoo fala tashhad maAAahum wala tattabiAA ahwaa allatheena kaththaboo biayatina waallatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati wahum birabbihim yaAAdiloona

English

Ahmed Ali

Tell them: "Bring your witnesses to testify that God has forbidden this (and this)." Then even if they testify, you should not testify with them; and do not follow the wishes of those who deny Our signs and believe not in the Hereafter, and make others the equal of their Lord.
