وكذلك زين لكثير من المشركين قتل اولادهم شركاؤهم ليردوهم وليلبسوا عليهم دينهم ولو شاء الله ما فعلوه فذرهم وما يفترون

Even so, in the eyes Of most of the Pagans, Their "partners" made alluring The slaughter of their children, In order to lead them To their own destruction, And cause confusion In their religion. If God had willed, They would not have done so: But leave alone Them and their inventions.
