Read in Context

Chapter 4, Page 97, Juz 5

116. Surely Allah does not forgive associating ˹others˺ with Him ˹in worship˺, but forgives anything else of whoever He wills. Indeed, whoever associates ˹others˺ with Allah has clearly gone far astray. 117. Instead of Allah, they only invoke female gods and they ˹actually˺ invoke none but a rebellious Satan— 118. cursed by Allah—who said, “I will surely take hold of a certain number of Your servants. 119. I will certainly mislead them and delude them with empty hopes. Also, I will order them and they will slit the ears of cattle and alter Allah’s creation.” And whoever takes Satan as a guardian instead of Allah has certainly suffered a tremendous loss. 120. Satan only makes them ˹false˺ promises and deludes them with ˹empty˺ hopes. Truly Satan promises them nothing but delusion. 121. It is they who will have Hell as their home, and they will find no escape from it!
