Al-An'am (The Cattle)
Verse 136of 165
وَجَعَلُوا۟ لِلَّهِ مِمَّا ذَرَأَ مِنَ ٱلْحَرْثِ وَٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ نَصِيبًۭا فَقَالُوا۟ هَٰذَا لِلَّهِ بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَهَٰذَا لِشُرَكَآئِنَا ۖ فَمَا كَانَ لِشُرَكَآئِهِمْ فَلَا يَصِلُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ فَهُوَ يَصِلُ إِلَىٰ شُرَكَآئِهِمْ ۗ سَآءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ﴿١٣٦﴾
Translation (Sahih International)
And the polytheists assign to Allah from that which He created of crops and livestock a share and say, "This is for Allah," by their claim, "and this is for our partners [associated with Him]." But what is for their "partners" does not reach Allah, while what is for Allah - this reaches their "partners." Evil is that which they rule.
Word-by-word meaning
Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Some Acts of ShirkAllah chastises and criticizes the idolators who invented innovations, Kufr and Shirk, and called on partners and rivals with Allah among His creation, although He created every thing, all praise is due to Him. This is why Allah said, وَجَعَلُواْ لِلَّهِ مِمَّا ذَرَأَ(And they assign to Allah from that which He has created,) مِنَ الْحَرْثِ(of the tilth) meaning, fruits and produce, وَالاٌّنْعَامِ نَصِيباً(and of the cattle a share) meaning a part and a section.
