(4:117) They call upon instead of Him none but female [deities], and they [actually] call upon none but a rebellious Satan. (4:118) Whom Allah has cursed. For he had said, "I will surely take from among Your servants a specific portion. (4:119) 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. (4:120) Satan promises them and arouses desire in them. But Satan does not promise them except delusion. (4:121) The refuge of those will be Hell, and they will not find from it an escape. (4:122) But the ones who believe and do righteous deeds - We will admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. [It is] the promise of Allah, [which is] truth, and who is more truthful than Allah in statement. (4:123) Paradise is not [obtained] by your wishful thinking nor by that of the People of the Scripture. Whoever does a wrong will be recompensed for it, and he will not find besides Allah a protector or a helper.
