Al Anam

HR Background

وَ كَذٰلِكَ زَیَّنَ لِكَثِیْرٍ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ قَتْلَ اَوْلَادِهِمْ شُرَكَآؤُهُمْ لِیُرْدُوْهُمْ وَ لِیَلْبِسُوْا عَلَیْهِمْ دِیْنَهُمْؕ-وَ لَوْ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ مَا فَعَلُوْهُ فَذَرْهُمْ وَ مَا یَفْتَرُوْنَ(137)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And thus, for many polytheists, their partners make the killing of their children seemingly good[1] to ruin them and confuse them in their faith; and had Allah willed, they would not have done this; so leave them and their slanders.

Commentary

[1]

“Partners” refers to the devils whom the disbelievers obey while disobeying Allah Almighty and resorting to ignorant actions; such actions that cannot be condoned by intelligence and would be rejected by a person with even a little common sense. The disbelievers were corrupted by their idolatry to such an extent that they became more cold-hearted than animals; even animals love their young but these disbelievers, in following the devils, would kill their own children, i.e. daughters.
