They suggest one order to deceive and if thy Lord had enforced His will, they would not have done it; so leave them alone with that which they fabricate- _854 854.

They says) زخرف زخرف الكلام. the house he adorned, decorated or embellished means, he arranged or put into a right state the speech or language; he embellished it with lies, etc. ; means, gold; any ornament false or decoration or embellishment; also anything adorned, decorated or embellished; anything embellished with colouring or with lies (Aqrab). For (in order to deceive) see 4:121. Commentary: The words, men and jinn, which occur in many verses of the Quran do not refer to two different species of God's creatures, but only to two classes of human beings, i. e. "men" denoting the masses or the common folk, and jinn standing for the big people who often remain aloof from the common people and do not mix with them, practically remaining concealed from public gaze. See also 6:101. have been styled Shayāṭīn (evil ones), for an explanation of which see note on 2:15. This word shows that those who lead lives of sin before the advent of a increase in sinfulness as a punishment Prophet generally for their evil deeds, so that when a Prophet makes his appearance, they assume the role of arch-enemies to him and become leaders of opposition. It is a law of God, in both the physical and spiritual worlds, that the powers of man develop in the direction in which they are exercised. So, as such men employ their powers in the wrong way, the result is that at the advent of a Prophet they become still greater sinners and become leaders of men in opposing the truth. Again, in order to augment their mischief, these leaders suggest, as hinted in the words, gilded speech, such arguments to one another as appear to be sound and true but are really false and hollow, and their object in suggesting such things is to Those of the common people and deceive the weak-minded. 914
