﴿ أَفَمَن كَانَ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍۢ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ كَمَن زُيِّنَ لَهُۥ سُوٓءُ عَمَلِهِۦ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَهْوَآءَهُم ﴾

“CAN, THEN, he who takes his stand on a clear evidence from his Sustainer be likened Unto one to whom the evil of his own doings [always] seems goodly, and unto such as would follow but their own lusts?”

(Is he who relieth on a clear proof) and a religion (from his Lord) i.e. Muhammad (pbuh) (like those for whom the evil that they do is beautified) like him whose evil works are beautified, i.e. Abu Jahl (while they follow their own lusts) through the worship of idols?
