'''Al-An'am''' (, ; The Cattle) is the sixth chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 165 verses (āyāt). Coming in order 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. It is a Meccan surah and is believed to have been revealed in its entirety during the middle stage of the Meccan period of Islam. This explains the timing and contextual background of the believed revelation (Asbāb al-nuzūl). The surah also reports the story of Ibrahim, who calls others to stop worshiping celestial bodies and turn towards Allah.
