Surely, Allah does not guide the unjust people [327].

    Surah Name : Al-Anam   Surah Number : 6   Ayat Number: 144

    142. And of the cattle, some are for carrying burdens, and some are too small to carry loads and lie on the ground [319]. Eat from what Allah has provided for you and do not follow the footsteps of Satan [320]. Surely, he is an open enemy to you.

    139. And they say: "Whatever is in the bellies of these cattle solely belongs to our males and is forbidden to our females. And if it were born dead, then all of them are partners therein [309]. Soon Allah will award them for their actions. Surely, He is Most Wise, All-Knowing.

    138. And they said: "These cattle and crops are forbidden [305], only those could cut them whom We accept". So they have false notions [306]. And there are some cattle over which riding is forbidden [307], and some cattle over which they do not pronounce the name of Allah at the time of slaughtering. This is all to assert a lie against [308] Allah. Soon, He will give the award for their fabrication.

    وَجَعَلُواْ لِلَّهِ مِمَّا ذَرَأَ مِنَ ٱلۡحَرۡثِ وَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ نَصِيبٗا فَقَالُواْ هَٰذَا لِلَّهِ بِزَعۡمِهِمۡ وَهَٰذَا لِشُرَكَآئِنَاۖ فَمَا كَانَ لِشُرَكَآئِهِمۡ فَلَا يَصِلُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ وَمَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ فَهُوَ يَصِلُ إِلَىٰ شُرَكَآئِهِمۡۗ سَآءَ مَا يَحۡكُمُونَ

    136. And whatever Allah has produced from the crops by tillage and created cattle, they say: "This is for Allah, according to their fancy, and this is for our associates [298]. Then that which is of their associates does not reach God [299], and that which is for God reaches their associates. What an evil judgment they assign [300].

    Surah Name : Al-Anam   Surah Number : 6   Ayat Number: 136

    يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَقۡتُلُواْ ٱلصَّيۡدَ وَأَنتُمۡ حُرُمٞۚ وَمَن قَتَلَهُۥ مِنكُم مُّتَعَمِّدٗا فَجَزَآءٞ مِّثۡلُ مَا قَتَلَ مِنَ ٱلنَّعَمِ يَحۡكُمُ بِهِۦ ذَوَا عَدۡلٖ مِّنكُمۡ هَدۡيَۢا بَٰلِغَ ٱلۡكَعۡبَةِ أَوۡ كَفَّـٰرَةٞ طَعَامُ مَسَٰكِينَ أَوۡ عَدۡلُ ذَٰلِكَ صِيَامٗا لِّيَذُوقَ وَبَالَ أَمۡرِهِۦۗ عَفَا ٱللَّهُ عَمَّا سَلَفَۚ وَمَنۡ عَادَ فَيَنتَقِمُ ٱللَّهُ مِنۡهُۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٞ ذُو ٱنتِقَامٍ

    95. O believers! Kill not game while you are in a pilgrim's garb [260]. And whoso among you kills intentionally [261], his compensation is that he should give a like animal from amongst the cattle as judged by two just persons among you. This offering should reach the Ka'bah. Or, as an alternate compensation, he should give food to some needy persons or should fast [262], to its equivalent [263], so that he may taste the enormity of his deed. Allah has pardoned what happened in the past. But, if anyone repeats it, Allah will take retribution from him. And Allah is Mighty in exacting retribution [264].

    Surah Name : Al-Maidah   Surah Number : 5   Ayat Number: 95

    إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا كَمَآءٍ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَٱخۡتَلَطَ بِهِۦ نَبَاتُ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِمَّا يَأۡكُلُ ٱلنَّاسُ وَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمُ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَخَذَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ زُخۡرُفَهَا وَٱزَّيَّنَتۡ وَظَنَّ أَهۡلُهَآ أَنَّهُمۡ قَٰدِرُونَ عَلَيۡهَآ أَتَىٰهَآ أَمۡرُنَا لَيۡلًا أَوۡ نَهَارٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهَا حَصِيدٗا كَأَن لَّمۡ تَغۡنَ بِٱلۡأَمۡسِۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لِقَوۡمٖ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

    24. The example of the life of the world is like the water which We have sent down from the sky, causing the vegetation of the earth to grow in abundance, from which men and cattle eat [70]. Till when the earth has taken on its ornaments and is fully adorned, and its owners think that they have full control over it [71], there comes upon it Our Command by night or by day [72]. Then We make it barren, as if it had not flourished yesterday [73]. Thus, We explain fully Our Signs for a people who reflect [74].

    Surah Name : Yunus   Surah Number : 10   Ayat Number: 24

    لِّنُحۡـِۧيَ بِهِۦ بَلۡدَةٗ مَّيۡتٗا وَنُسۡقِيَهُۥ مِمَّا خَلَقۡنَآ أَنۡعَٰمٗا وَأَنَاسِيَّ كَثِيرٗا

    44. Or do you think that most of them hear and understand? [80] They are not but like cattle; nay, but they are even more astray from the path. [81].

    Surah Name : Al-Furqan   Surah Number : 25   Ayat Number: 44

    أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ أَنَّا نَسُوقُ ٱلۡمَآءَ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ٱلۡجُرُزِ فَنُخۡرِجُ بِهِۦ زَرۡعٗا تَأۡكُلُ مِنۡهُ أَنۡعَٰمُهُمۡ وَأَنفُسُهُمۡۚ أَفَلَا يُبۡصِرُونَ
