Commentary 36:60 “The worship of satan” comes in many forms. This may include following blindly people who are evil by nature and inciting others to do evil (3:22; 38:6).…
أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوا الشَّيْطَانَ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ
36:60 “The worship of satan” comes in many forms. This may include following blindly people who are evil by nature and inciting others to do evil (3:22; 38:6). Worshipping satan also means following one’s own evil desires, thereby making these desires into objects of worship (25:43; 45:23; 2:268). Shaitânشَّيْطَان is not only far removed from the truth himself but also turns others away from it. Al-Shaitânالشَّيْطَان is the one who burns with hatred and anger and is lost, who makes evil suggestions (7:20: 4:120; 8:48). Ibn Mas‘ûd says that shayâtîn are the leaders in unbelief, the ring-leaders (cf. 2:102), referred to in verse 2:76 (“and when they are alone, one with another”) and in verse 33:67 (“They will say, Our Lord! We obeyed our leaders and our respected ones, but they led us astray from your path.”) The expression Al-Shaitânالشَّيْطَان conveys many meanings, which are discussed in 2:36.
