ٱلْأَنْعَام : ١١٢

  • وَكَذَٰلِكَ And thus
  • جَعَلۡنَا We made
  • لِكُلِّ for every
  • نَبِيٍّ Prophet
  • عَدُوّٗا an enemy
  • شَيَٰطِينَ devils
  • ٱلۡإِنسِ (from) the mankind
  • وَٱلۡجِنِّ and the jinn
  • يُوحِي inspiring
  • بَعۡضُهُمۡ some of them
  • إِلَىٰ to
  • بَعۡضٖ others
  • زُخۡرُفَ (with) decorative
  • ٱلۡقَوۡلِ [the] speech
  • غُرُورٗاۚ (in) deception
  • وَلَوۡ But if
  • شَآءَ (had) willed
  • رَبُّكَ your Lord
  • مَا not
  • فَعَلُوهُۖ they (would) have done it
  • فَذَرۡهُمۡ so leave them
  • وَمَا and what
  • يَفۡتَرُونَ they invent
And thus We have made for every prophet an enemy - devils from mankind and jinn, inspiring to one another decorative speech in delusion. But if your Lord had willed, they would not have done it, so leave them and that which they invent.
And so We have appointed to every Prophet an enemy, just as We have appointed these your enemies (and this ['adoowwan, 'an enemy', is substituted by [the following, shayaateen, 'devils']) devils, the rebels, of mankind and jinn who inspire, whisper, fine speech to each other, the falsehood that is disguised as such [fine speech], in delusion, that is, in order to delude them; yet, had your Lord willed, they would never have done it, that mutual inspiration. So leave them, let the disbelievers be, with what they fabricate, of disbelief and otherwise, of what has been adorned for them - this was [revealed] before the command to fight [them].
