The Holy Quran 16:63 — Surah An-Nahl

Arabic text

تَٱللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَمٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ فَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

Translation

By Allaah! We have definitely sent Ambiyaa to the nations before you (to guide them) but Shaytaan beautified their actions for them (made their evil actions appealing to them so that they reject the message of the Ambiyaa عليه الصلاة والسلام who told them to forsake these actions). So he (Shaytaan) shall take charge of their affairs today (in this world) and they will have a painful punishment (in the Aakhirah).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Consolation for the Prophet ﷺ: having mentioned the insolence of the disbelievers of Makkah and their absurd and senseless claims, [Allah] consoles the Prophet ﷺ: do not be grieved or saddened by their doings.
