Al-An’am (Arabic: ٱلْأَنْعَامْ, al-ʾanʿām; meaning: The Cattle is the sixth chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 165 verses (āyāt). Coming in order in the Quran after Al-Fatiha, Al-Baqarah, Al ‘Imran, An-Nisa’, and Al-Ma’idah, this surah dwells on such themes as the clear signs of Allah’s Dominion and Power, rejecting polytheism and unbelief, the establishment of Tawhid (pure monotheism), the Revelation, Messengership, and Resurrection.

The surah also reports the story of Ibrahim, who calls others to stop worshiping celestial bodies and turn towards Allah
