6: SURAH AL ANAM - THE CATTLE

165 VERSES MAKKAN REVELATION

Cattle are mentioned in connection with superstitious practises condoned by Al Islam. The Prophet PBUH after 13 years of effort saw himself obliged to flee from Makkah and seek help from strangers.

This surah is about the relationship of Allah with His messengers. The main theme in these verses is the rejection of shirk and guidance towards tauheed, the revelation, and resurrection. The surah also reports the story of the Prophet Ibrahim PBUH who calls on people to stop worshiping celestial bodies and turn towards Allah
