Ayah: 137

وَكَذَٰلِكَ زَيَّنَ لِكَثِيرٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ قَتۡلَ أَوۡلَٰدِهِمۡ شُرَكَآؤُهُمۡ لِيُرۡدُوهُمۡ وَلِيَلۡبِسُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ دِينَهُمۡۖ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا فَعَلُوهُۖ فَذَرۡهُمۡ وَمَا يَفۡتَرُونَ

137. Thus the pagans' evil associates  (i.e., demons) have made fair seeming to most of the idolaters the killing of their children, that they may ruin them and confuse them of their faith (and deeds). If Allāh had willed, they would not have done it, so leave them and that which they invent.
