[36]. I.e., of inciting, illicit songs, music, and any other call to Allah’s disobedience.
[37]. This phrase reveals the many ways Satan becomes a “partner” with people in their wealth and offspring — not by direct ownership, but by influencing how they earn, spend, and raise them.
This “partnership” occurs when Satan tempts humans to misuse blessings that should be means of worship.
A. In their wealth: When they earn it through forbidden means, such as usury, theft, gambling, bribery, deceit, or dishonest trade. When they spend it wastefully or sinfully, such as on luxury, pride, intoxicants, or immoral entertainment. When they withhold charity and neglect the poor, forgetting that wealth is a trust from Allāh. When they hoard or boast of their possessions, making wealth a source of arrogance instead of gratitude.
B. In their children: When parents neglect their moral and spiritual upbringing, leaving them to grow up without faith or prayer.
When they expose them to corrupt influences, leading them toward disbelief, vice, or rebellion or fornication, adultery, or homosexuality, etc.. When people dedicate their children to un-Islamic causes or prioritize worldly success over righteousness. When they follow pagan or superstitious customs, such as invoking jinn or fortune-tellers for protection. Thus, Satan becomes a “partner” in one’s wealth when it is gained or spent contrary to divine guidance, and in one’s children when they are raised without remembrance of God.This partnership is not physical but moral and spiritual — a share in the misuse of what Allāh entrusted to humanity.
