6. Surah Al-An'am (The Cattle) is the 6th chapter of the Quran, containing 165 verses. Standing in sharp contrast to the previous three chapters (Ali-Imran, An-Nisa, and Al-Ma'idah), Al-An'am marks a shift back to pure, unadulterated Makkan theology. It is universally recognized as a foundational text for Islamic creed (Aqidah), systematic theology, and the metaphysical worldview of Islam.
