The Holy Quran 6:1 — Surah Al-An'am

Arabic text

ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ وَٱلنُّورَ ۖ ثُمَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِرَبِّهِمْ يَعْدِلُونَ

Translation

All praise belongs to Allaah Who created the heavens and the earth and Who made multitudes (many forms) of darkness (evil) and a light (guidance). Then too the Kuffaar make equals with (ascribe partners to) their Rabb (by committing Shirk).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The revelation of Surah Al-An'am: this surah is Makkan. Some scholars have made an exception only of a few ayahs. It is stated in narrations that the whole surah was revealed at one time, escorted by countless angels. However, Ibn al-Salah in his Fatawa denied the authenticity of those narrations which indicate that the whole surah was revealed at once.
