Surah An-Nur Ayah 21

An-Nur · Ayah 21 · Juz 18 · Page 352

۞ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَتَّبِعُواْ خُطُوَٰتِ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِۚ وَمَن يَتَّبِعۡ خُطُوَٰتِ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَأۡمُرُ بِٱلۡفَحۡشَآءِ وَٱلۡمُنكَرِۚ وَلَوۡلَا فَضۡلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَرَحۡمَتُهُۥ مَا زَكَىٰ مِنكُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٍ أَبَدٗا وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُزَكِّي مَن يَشَآءُۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٞ ٢١

Yāʾayyuhal-ladhīna āmanū lā tattabiʿū khuṭuwātish-shayṭān, wa may yattabiʿ khuṭuwātish-shayṭāni fa innahū yaʾmuru bil-faḥshāʾi wal-munkar, wa lawlā faḍlullāhi ʿalaykum wa raḥmatuhū mā zakā minkum min aḥadin abadaw wa lākinnallāha yuzakkī may yashāʾ, wallāhu samīʿun ʿalīm.

O you who have believed, do not follow the footsteps of Satan. And whoever follows the footsteps of Satan - indeed, he enjoins immorality and wrongdoing. And if not for the favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy, not one of you would have been pure, ever, but Allāh purifies whom He wills, and Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.
