Sura 4
Aya 120
120
يَعِدُهُم وَيُمَنّيهِم ۖ وَما يَعِدُهُمُ الشَّيطانُ إِلّا غُرورًا

Muhammad Asad

he holds out promises to them, and fills them with vain desires: yet whatever Satan promises them is but meant to delude the mind.1
  • The term ghurur signifies anything by which the mind is beguiled or deceived - for instance, utter self-abandonment to earthly joys, or the absurd belief that there is no limit to man's aims and achievements.
