The Holy Quran 17:27 — Surah Al-Isra

Arabic text

إِنَّ ٱلْمُبَذِّرِينَ كَانُوٓا۟ إِخْوَٰنَ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينِ ۖ وَكَانَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ لِرَبِّهِۦ كَفُورًا

Translation

Without doubt, the extravagant ones (those who waste) are the brothers of the Shayaateen (because they behave just like the Shayaateen). And Shaytaan (Iblees) was ever ungrateful to his Rabb. (Whereas Allaah gave Iblees the bounty of intelligence, he was ungrateful by using it to disobey Allaah's command. Muslims should avoid behaving in this manner. They should therefore use the bounty of wealth in ways that please Allaah and not against His commands.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

إن المسرفين والمنفقين أموالهم في معاصي الله هم أشباه الشياطين في الشر والفساد والمعصية، وكان الشيطان كثير الكفران شديدَ الجحود لنعمة ربه.
