وَكَذَٰلِكَ زَيَّنَ لِكَثِيرٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ قَتْلَ أَوْلَٰدِهِمْ شُرَكَآؤُهُمْ لِيُرْدُوهُمْ وَلِيَلْبِسُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ دِينَهُمْ ۖ وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا فَعَلُوهُ ۖ فَذَرْهُمْ وَمَا يَفْتَرُونَ

سُورَةُ الأَنۡعَامِ
English — Sahih International
And likewise, to many of the polytheists their partners have made [to seem] pleasing the killing of their children in order to bring about their destruction and to cover them with confusion in their religion. And if Allah had willed, they would not have done so. So leave them and that which they invent.

اور اسی طرح بہت سے مشرکوں کے لیے ان کے شریکوں نے اپنی اولاد کے قتل کو خوشنما بنا دیا ہے تاکہ ان کو ہلاکت میں مبتلا کریں اور ان پر ان کے دین کو مشتبہ بنا دیں اگر اللہ چاہتا تو یہ ایسا نہ کرتے، لہٰذا انہیں چھوڑ دو کہ اپنی افترا پرداز یوں میں لگے رہیں
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Dan demikianlah pemimpin-pemimpin mereka telah menjadikan kebanyakan dari orang-orang musyrik itu memandang baik membunuh anak-anak mereka untuk membinasakan mereka dan untuk mengaburkan bagi mereka agama-Nya. Dan kalau Allah menghendaki, niscaya mereka tidak mengerjakannya, maka tinggallah mereka dan apa yang mereka ada-adakan.
Ibn Kathir
Shaytan Lured the Idolators to Kill Their Children
Allah says, just as the Shayatin lured the idolators to assign a share for Allah from what He created of agriculture and cattle - and a share for the idols, they also made it seem fair for them to kill their children, for fear of poverty, and burying their daughters alive, for fear of dishonor. `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn `Abbas that he commented;
وَكَذَلِكَ زَيَّنَ لِكَثِيرٍ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَتْلَ أَوْلَـدِهِمْ شُرَكَآؤُهُمْ
(And so to many of the idolators, their "partners" have made fair seeming the killing of their children...) "They make killing their children attractive to them." Mujahid said, "Idolators' partners among the devils ordered them to bury their children for fear of poverty." As-Suddi said, "The devils commanded them to kill their daughters so that they,
لِيُرْدُوهُمْ
(lead them to their own destruction), and to,
وَلِيَلْبِسُواْ عَلَيْهِمْ دِينَهُمْ
(cause confusion in their religion.)" Allah said,
وَلَوْ شَآءَ اللَّهُ مَا فَعَلُوهُ
(And if Allah had willed, they would not have done so.) meaning, all this occurred by Allah's leave, will and decree, but He dislikes these practices, and He has the perfect wisdom in every decree. He is never questioned about what He does, but they all will be questioned.
فَذَرْهُمْ وَمَا يَفْتَرُونَ
(So leave them alone with their fabrications.) meaning, avoid and abandon them and what they do, for Allah will judge between you and them.
المُيَسَّر
وكما زيَّن الشيطان للمشركين أن يجعلوا لله تعالى من الحرث والأنعام نصيبًا، ولشركائهم نصيبًا، زيَّنت الشياطين لكثير من المشركين قَتْلَ أولادهم خشية الفقر؛ ليوقعوا هؤلاء الآباء في الهلاك بقتل النفس التي حرم الله قتلها إلا بالحق، وليخلطوا عليهم دينهم فيلتبس، فيضلوا ويهلكوا، ولو شاء الله ألا يفعلوا ذلك ما فعلوه، ولكنه قدَّر ذلك لعلمه بسوء حالهم ومآلهم، فاتركهم -أيها الرسول- وشأنهم فيما يفترون من كذب، فسيحكم الله بينك وبينهم.
