Surah Al-Furqan — Ayah 29 (25:29)

English translation (Saheeh International)

He led me away from the remembrance¹ after it had come to me. And ever is Satan, to man, a deserter."²

1. i.e., the Qur’ān or the remembrance of Allāh.
2. Forsaking him once he has led him into evil.

Brief commentary

This disbelieving friend led me away from the Qur’ān after it reached me through the Messenger. Satan has always been one who betrays man often. When some difficulty comes on him, he renounces him.
