Surah Baqarah ayat 169 Tafsir Quran 2:169

﴿إِنَّمَا يَأْمُرُكُم بِالسُّوءِ وَالْفَحْشَاءِ وَأَن تَقُولُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ﴾
[ البقرة: 169]

2:169 He only orders you to evil and immorality and to say about Allah what you do not know.

he only commands you to evil sin and indecency what is abhorred by the Law and that you should speak against God what you do not know such as forbidding what He has not forbidden and otherwise.

He incites you and commands your sympathy to commit yourselves to an evil line of conduct and to disregard the horror of immorality, besides relating to Allah claims you know not to be true or false

The Order to eat the Lawful Things, and the Prohibition of following the Footsteps of Shaytan After Allah stated that there is no deity worthy of worship except Him and that He Alone created the creation, He stated that He is the Sustainer for all His creation, and He mentioned a favor that He granted them; He has allowed them to eat any of the pure lawful things on the earth that do not cause harm to the body or the mind.
He also forbade them from following the footsteps of Shaytan, meaning his ways and methods with which he misguides his followers, like prohibiting the Bahirah ( a she-camel whose milk was spared for the idols and nobody was allowed to milk it ), or Sa'ibah ( a she-camel let loose for free pasture for the idols and nothing was allowed to be carried on it ), or a Wasilah ( a she-camel set free for idols because it has given birth to a she-camel at its first delivery and then again gives birth to a she-camel at its second delivery ), and all of the other things that Shaytan made attractive to them during the time of Jahiliyyah.
Muslim recorded `Iyad bin Himar saying that Allah's Messenger ﷺ said that Allah the Exalted says, يَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالَى:إِنَّ كُلَّ مَالٍ مَنَحْتُهُ عِبَادِي فَهُوَ لَهُمْ حَلَالٌ، وَفِيهِ وَإِنِّي خَلَقْتُ عِبَادِي حُنَفَاءَ، فَجَاءَتْهُمُ الشَّيَاطِينُ فَاجْتَالَتْهُمْ عَنْ دِينِهِمْ، وَحَرَّمَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا أَحْلَلْتُ لَهُم» ( `Every type of wealth I have endowed My servants is allowed for them...' (until ), `I have created My servants Hunafa' ( pure or upright ), but the devils came to them and led them astray from their ( true ) religion and prohibited them from what I allowed for them.
') Allah said: إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ ( ...he is to you an open enemy. ) warning against Satan.
Allah said in another instance: إِنَّ الشَّيْطَـنَ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ فَاتَّخِذُوهُ عَدُوّاً إِنَّمَا يَدْعُو حِزْبَهُ لِيَكُونُواْ مِنْ أَصْحَـبِ السَّعِيرِ ( Surely, Shaytan is an enemy to you, so take (treat ) him as an enemy.
He only invites his Hizb ( followers ) that they may become the dwellers of the blazing Fire.) ( 35:6 ), and: أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِى وَهُمْ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ بِئْسَ لِلظَّـلِمِينَ بَدَلاً ( Will you then take him (Iblis ) and his offspring as protectors and helpers rather than Me while they are enemies to you What an evil is the exchange for the Zalimin ( polytheists, and wrongdoers, etc ).) ( 18:50 ) Qatadah and As-Suddi commented on what Allah said: وَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ خُطُوَتِ الشَّيْطَـنِ ( ...and follow not the footsteps of Shaytan (Satan )): Every act of disobedience to Allah is among the footsteps of Satan. `Abd bin Humayd reported that Ibn `Abbas said: "Any vow or oath that one makes while angry, is among the footsteps of Shaytan and its expiation is that of the vow.
" Allah's statement: إِنَّمَا يَأْمُرُكُم بِالسُّوءِ وَالْفَحْشَآءِ وَأَن تَقُولُواْ عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ ( He (Satan ) commands you only what is evil and Fahsha ( sinful ), and that you should say about Allah what you know not.) The verse means: `Your enemy, Satan, commands you to commit evil acts and what is worse than that, such as adultery and so forth.
He commands you to commit what is even worse, that is, saying about Allah without knowledge.' So this includes every innovator and disbeliever.

(2:169) He enjoins you to commit vice and indecency and induces you to attribute to Allah's name things you do not know to be from Him. *167

He only orders you to evil and meaning

*167).
The notion that all superstitious customs and taboos are God-given religious teachings is an example of satanic deception, pure and simple, since there is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that they are from God.

( He ) the devil ( enjoineth upon you only the evil ) evil works ( and the foul ) transgressions, ( and that ye should tell ) lies ( concerning Allah that which ye know not ).

[Shaitan (Satan)] commands you only what is evil and Fahsha (sinful), and that you should say against Allah what you know not.
