The Holy Quran 4:119 — Surah An-Nisa

Arabic text

وَلَأُضِلَّنَّهُمْ وَلَأُمَنِّيَنَّهُمْ وَلَـَٔامُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَيُبَتِّكُنَّ ءَاذَانَ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ وَلَـَٔامُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَيُغَيِّرُنَّ خَلْقَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَمَن يَتَّخِذِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ وَلِيًّا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَقَدْ خَسِرَ خُسْرَانًا مُّبِينًا

Translation

(He said further) "I will surely lead them astray and certainly instil hopes (of long lives and great wealth) within them. I shall definitely command (teach) them and (according to my teachings) they will cut the ears of animals (as the Arab Mushrikeen used to do). I will command (teach) them and (accordingly) they will certainly change (alter the appearance of) Allaah's creation." Whoever takes Shaytaan as his friend instead of Allaah has indeed incurred (earned) a manifest (open) loss (because this friendship can lead him only to Jahannam).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

ولأصرفَنَّ مَن تبعني منهم عن الحق، ولأعِدَنَّهم بالأماني الكاذبة، ولأدعونَّهم إلى تقطيع آذان الأنعام وتشقيقها لما أزينه لهم من الباطل، ولأدعونَّهم إلى تغيير خلق الله في الفطرة، وهيئة ما عليه الخلق. ومن يستجب للشيطان ويتخذه ناصرًا له من دون الله القوي العزيز، فقد هلك هلاكًا بيِّنًا.
