﴿۞ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ ۚ وَمَن يَتَّبِعْ خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنكَرِ ۚ وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ مَا زَكَىٰ مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ أَبَدًا وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ يُزَكِّي مَن يَشَاءُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ﴾
[ النور: 21]
24:21 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 Ibn Katheer in EnglishO those who have faith in Allah and who act on His sacred law, do not follow the ways of the satan in his adornment of falsehood.
Whoever follows his ways - he commands despicable actions and sayings, and what the sacred law disapproves of.
Had it not been for Allah’s grace upon you, O believers, not a single one of you would have become pure through repentance if he did repent, but in fact, Allah purifies whom He wants by accepting his repentance.
Allah is Hearing of your statements, Knowing of your actions; nothing of them is hidden from Him and He shall reward you for them.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
O you who believe! Follow not the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan). And whosoever follows the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan), then, verily he commands Al-Fahsha' [i.e. to commit indecency (illegal sexual intercourse, etc.)], and Al-Munkar [disbelief and polytheism (i.e. to do evil and wicked deeds; to speak or to do what is forbidden in Islam, etc.)]. And had it not been for the Grace of Allah and His Mercy on you, not one of you would ever have been pure from sins. But Allah purifies (guides to Islam) whom He wills, and Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation
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).
Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri
O you who believe! Follow not the Khutuwat of Shaytan. And whosoever follows the footsteps of Shaytan, then, verily, he commands Al-Fahsha' and the evil deeds. And had it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy on you, not one of you would ever have been pure from sins. But Allah purifies whom He wills, and Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.

24:21 O you who have believed, do not follow the footsteps of Satan. translate in arabic
ياأيها الذين آمنوا لا تتبعوا خطوات الشيطان ومن يتبع خطوات الشيطان فإنه يأمر بالفحشاء والمنكر ولولا فضل الله عليكم ورحمته ما زكا منكم من أحد أبدا ولكن الله يزكي من يشاء والله سميع عليم
سورة: النور - آية: ( 21 ) - جزء: ( 18 ) - صفحة: ( 352 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
O you who conformed to Allahs system of faith and worship: Do not follow the footsteps of AL-Shaytan (Satan) nor walk in the footsteps of those with characteristics befitting him. And he who follows the footsteps of AL-Shaytan must realize that he incites people and commands their sympathy to commit themselves to immorality and to all that is wrongful and obscene. And had it not been for Allahs efficacious grace and mercy abounding in you, He would never have vindicated any of you, but He does vindicate whom He will and Allah is Samiun (Omnipresent with unlimited audition) and Alimun
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(24:21) O Believers, do not follow in Satan's footsteps, for he will incite to indecency and wickedness any who will follow him. If Allah had not shown His Brace and mercy to you, none of you would have been able to cleanse yourself, *18 for it is Allah alone Who cleanses whom He wills, and Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. *19
O you who have believed, do not follow the footsteps of Satan. meaning
*18) `Satan' is bent upon involving you in all kinds of pollutions and indecencies: had it not been for the mercy and kindness of Allah Who enables you to differentiate between good and evil and helps you to educate and reform yourselves, you would not have been able to lead a pure and virtuous life on the strength of your own faculties and initiative alone.
*19) It is Allah's Will alone which decides whom to make pious and virtuous. His decisions are not arbitrary but based on knowledge. He alone knows who is anxious to live a life of virtue and who is attracted towards a life of sin. Allah hears a person's most secret talk, and is aware of everything that passes in his mind. It is on the basis of this direct knowledge that Allah decides whom to bless with piety and virtue and whom to ignore,
O you who have believed, do not follow the footsteps of Satan. meaning in Urdu
اے لوگو جو ایمان لائے ہو، شیطان کے نقش قدم پر نہ چلو اس کی پیروی کوئی کرے گا تو وہ اسے فحش اور بدی ہی کا حکم دے گا اگر اللہ کا فضل اور اس کا رحم و کرم تم پر نہ ہوتا تو تم میں سے کوئی شخص پاک نہ ہوسکتا مگر اللہ ہی جسے چاہتا ہے پاک کر دیتا ہے، اور اللہ سننے والا اور جاننے والا ہے
