وَكَذٰلِكَ زَيَّنَ لِكَث۪يرٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِك۪ينَ قَتْلَ اَوْلَادِهِمْ شُرَكَٓاؤُ۬هُمْ لِيُرْدُوهُمْ وَلِيَلْبِسُوا عَلَيْهِمْ د۪ينَهُمْۜ وَلَوْ شَٓاءَ اللّٰهُ مَا فَعَلُوهُ فَذَرْهُمْ وَمَا يَفْتَرُونَ ١٣٧

English Translation
137Thus these perverse beliefs in partners had made even the killing of their children look good to many of those who associate partners with Allah, and so had dragged them into destruction and loss, and they had made their false beliefs into a religion. Had Allah not granted them the right to choose, they could not have done this. So leave them alone with their invented beliefs.
