Isa (as) followers asked for this as a gift from Allah (swt) – Isa (as) made dua for this and Allah granted it.

Musa (as) followers were ungrateful after Allah (swt) sent manna and salwa to them from the heavens.

Isa (as) glorifies Allah and denies telling the people that they should worship him as god. Allah knows this but this is part of bearing witness. Isa (as) is the victim as those who made this claim against him.

Surah Alan’aam revealed all at once! Along with Jibreel (as) accompanied by 70000 Angels! It went from the heart of Muhammad (saw) to heart of Ibn Masud all at one as well.

This Surah spells out Allah’s oneness, longest and first of the Makki Surahs.

All praise is due to Allah! Allah is stressing is Tawheed. And also stresses His (swt) creation. Allah is the only one worthy of worship.

Shubuhaat and Shahawaat (Pride and desires) veil them from the truth. Nothing will unlock their hearts. Not miracles, not difference in revelation etc.

Verse 22

Speaks about judgement day and those who worshipped other than Allah. Allah will gather them and they will be questioned about those they worshipped and about the claims they made against those who brought the truth. They also denied resurrection.

Asaateerul Awalleen – Fiction of the people who came before (an insult to Muhammad (saw).

The people of the book for the most part believe in life after death.

Allah mentions the animals and plants use their natural instincts to worship Allah by running their course, who are you to deny Allah with such arrogance!

Verse 43 ---

Do not be deceived by this world! Turning yourself away from guidance turns you away from good – enjoy the world… Aakhirah is not for you! Be pleased with Dunya, it does not last forever.

Surahtul An’aam also focuses on Ibrahim (as) and his natural inclination towards Allah.

Verse 74 ---

People of the book and People of Makkah both honor Ibrahim (as). So Allah tells us the story of Ibrahim following his inclination to worship one Allah. After seeing the stars and the moon and the sun….it’s not possible for these things to be Allah.

Verse 80 – 82
