An-Nur 21

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِۜ وَمَنْ يَتَّبِعْ خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَاِنَّهُ يَاْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَٓاءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِۜ وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ مَا زَكٰى مِنْكُمْ مِنْ اَحَدٍ اَبَدًاۙ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُزَكّ۪ي مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَاللّٰهُ سَم۪يعٌ عَل۪يمٌ ۝٢١

21O you who believe, do not follow in Satan's footsteps. Whoever follows in Satan's footsteps, let him know well that he commands only what is ugly and evil. Were it not for Allah's grace and mercy upon you, none of you would ever be cleansed of his sins. But Allah cleanses whoever deserves it. For Allah hears all and knows everyone's intentions.
