Surah An-Nur (The Light), Verse 21

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَتَّبِعُوْا خُطُوٰتِ الشَّیْطٰنِ وَمَنْ یَّتَّبِعْ خُطُوٰتِ الشَّیْطٰنِ فَاِنَّهٗ یَاْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَآءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهٗ مَا زَكٰی مِنْكُمْ مِّنْ اَحَدٍ اَبَدًا وَّلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُزَكِّیْ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَاللّٰهُ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ ۟

O ye who believe! follow not Satan's footsteps: if any will follow the footsteps of Satan, he will (but) command what is shameful and wrong: and were it not for the grace and mercy of Allah on you, not one of you would ever have been pure: but Allah doth purify whom He pleases: and Allah is One Who hears and knows (all things).
