The Holy Quran 6:112 — Surah Al-An'am

Arabic text

وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِىٍّ عَدُوًّا شَيَـٰطِينَ ٱلْإِنسِ وَٱلْجِنِّ يُوحِى بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ زُخْرُفَ ٱلْقَوْلِ غُرُورًا ۚ وَلَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ مَا فَعَلُوهُ ۖ فَذَرْهُمْ وَمَا يَفْتَرُونَ

Translation

In a like manner (just as these people are your enemies, O Muhammad) We have appointed for every Nabi enemies (forces of evil) who are Shayaateen from among humans and Jinn. Some of them (the Jinn Shayaateen) whisper to others (to the human Shayaateen) things that seem good but (are intended to) deceive. If your Rabb wills, they will not do so (However, Allaah allows this to take place for good reason). So leave them (to their falsehood) and whatever they dream up (do not concern yourself with them because Allaah will deal with them as and when He wills).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

That is, We created. There is wisdom in the existence of good and evil: since Allah's perfect wisdom, in the ordering of creation, requires that, as long as He wills to maintain the order of the world, none of the forces of good and evil be wholly fettered and annihilated, the contest between virtue and vice, guidance and misguidance, has always gone on.
