O you who have believed, do not follow the footsteps of Satan. And whoever follows the footsteps of Satan - indeed, he enjoins immorality and wrongdoing. And if not for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy, not one of you would have been pure, ever, but Allah purifies whom He wills, and Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
Tafsir
Verse range: 24:21
Al-Faḥshāʾ and al-Fāḥishah: That which is excessive in its ugliness. Abū Dhuʾayb said: “The rivals of my wife, their jealousy became excessive (tafāḥasha).” Meaning: Their jealousy became extreme.
Al-Munkar: That which souls reject, recoil from, and do not approve of.
[Linguistic Notes]
[Exegesis] Had it not been for Allah’s grace upon you through the purifying repentance, no one among you would have been cleansed until the end of time from the filth of the sin of the Slander (al-Ifk). However, Allah purifies those who repent by accepting their repentance when they make it sincere. He is {Hearing} of their speech, {Knowing} of their inner thoughts and their sincerity.
{And let not those of virtue among you and wealth swear not to give [aid] to their relatives and the needy and the emigrants for the cause of Allah, and let them pardon and overlook. Would you not like that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.}
