The Holy Quran 17:64 — Surah Al-Isra

Arabic text

وَٱسْتَفْزِزْ مَنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتَ مِنْهُم بِصَوْتِكَ وَأَجْلِبْ عَلَيْهِم بِخَيْلِكَ وَرَجِلِكَ وَشَارِكْهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَمْوَٰلِ وَٱلْأَوْلَـٰدِ وَعِدْهُمْ ۚ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ إِلَّا غُرُورًا

Translation

"Fool (scare, destroy) as many of them as you can with your voice (with music and everything else that calls them to sin), attack them with your cavalry and infantry (with all your might), be a partner in their wealth (by causing them to indulge in stealing, interest and other sins of wealth and by causing them to spend charity for ulterior motives) and (be a partner in their) children (by causing them to have illegitimate children and by using their children to lead them astray) and promise them (long lives and that there will be no resurrection)." The promises that Shaytaan makes are only deceptive (a delusion to mislead you, so do not fall for them).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

واستَخْفِف كل مَن تستطيع استخفافه منهم بدعوتك إياه إلى معصيتي، واجمع عليهم كل ما تقدر عليه مِن جنودك من كل راكب وراجل، واجعل لنفسك شِرْكة في أموالهم بأن يكسبوها من الحرام، وشِرْكة في الأولاد بتزيين الزنى والمعاصي، ومخالفة أوامر الله حتى يكثر الفجور والفساد، وعِدْ أتباعك مِن ذرية آدم الوعود الكاذبة، فكل وعود الشيطان باطلة وغرور.
