The Holy Quran 6:140 — Surah Al-An'am

Arabic text

قَدْ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَتَلُوٓا۟ أَوْلَـٰدَهُمْ سَفَهًۢا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَحَرَّمُوا۟ مَا رَزَقَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱفْتِرَآءً عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۚ قَدْ ضَلُّوا۟ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُهْتَدِينَ

Translation

Those people are losers (in both worlds) who foolishly murder their children without knowledge (understanding) and who forbid (make Haraam) what Allaah has provided for them, inventing lies about Allaah (by saying that Allaah had commanded them to do this). They have surely gone astray and are not rightly guided.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
