➋ That is, on one hand, the devils promote moral corruption { ”اَلسُّوْءُ وَالْفَحْشَاءُ“ } in society, and on the other hand, by introducing innovations in religion, they corrupt people's beliefs and actions. Attributing anything to Allah without knowledge includes every matter that is not established from the Book and Sunnah. See also A'raf (28, 33). In view of the previous verses, here {”اَنْ تَقُوْلُوْا عَلَى اللّٰهِ“} refers to associating partners with Allah, declaring what Allah has made lawful as unlawful at the behest of Satan, such as Bahirah and Saibah, etc., and considering His unlawful as lawful, such as carrion, blood, swine, and making offerings for other than Allah; in short, fabricating any matter in religion and attributing it to Allah.

[210] Since Satan is the eternal enemy of mankind, he will always prompt you towards something evil or something shameless and indecent. He does this in such a way that it appears good in your eyes. [211] That is, regarding self-invented customs and restrictions, to think or give the impression that these are commands from Allah, while there is no evidence of them being from Allah, is tantamount to attributing a lie to Allah, which is a very great sin.
