The Cattle or Sūrat al-Anʻām (Arabic: سورة الأنعام) is the sixth chapter of the Qur'an, with 165 verses. It is a Makkan sura and its main topics are monotheism, resurrection, heaven and hell.
The surah reports the story of the prophet Abraham,[Quran 6:74–80] who, by using his own reason, stops worshiping celestial bodies and turns towards Allah so that he could receive revelation.
It includes a version of the Mosaic Ten Commandments.
