Tafsir of verse 129
Al-Mukhtasar
Just as I gave some of the rebellious jinn the ability to mislead some people, I will give an authority and power to every evil sinner so that they may influence other sinners-prompting them to do evil and create a dislike in their hearts and turn them away from good. This is a just recompense for the sins they used to commit.
This is how We make the wrongdoers take control over one another43 because of what they used to do.
Notes
[43] By misguiding and inciting to do evil deeds.
And thus We do make the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers) Auliyâ’ (supporters and helpers) of one another (in committing crimes), because of that which they used to earn.
Thus We let some of the wrong-doers have power over others because of what they are wont to earn.
Thus do we make the wrong-doers turn to each other, because of what they earn.
And thus do We make some of the iniquitous to befriend others on account of what they earned.
And thus We make the unjust ones patrons of each other, for whatever they were earning.
