Verse (4:119)

The analysis above refers to the 119th verse of chapter 4 (sūrat l-nisāa):

Sahih International: And I will mislead them, and I will arouse in them [sinful] desires, and I will command them so they will slit the ears of cattle, and I will command them so they will change the creation of Allah." And whoever takes Satan as an ally instead of Allah has certainly sustained a clear loss.
