The Holy Quran 41:25 — Surah Fussilat

Arabic text

۞ وَقَيَّضْنَا لَهُمْ قُرَنَآءَ فَزَيَّنُوا۟ لَهُم مَّا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَحَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقَوْلُ فِىٓ أُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنسِ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ خَـٰسِرِينَ

Translation

We have appointed companions (Shayaateen) for them (the Kuffaar), who (are with them all the time and who) beautify for them their present and past (evil actions so that they continue sinning). The decision (to be punished) shall be passed against them, together with all the (Kuffaar) groups of man and Jinn that have passed before them. Verily, they are all losers.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The devils' hold over the disbelievers: that is, devils were assigned to them to make the evil deeds they had done before or would do in future look good to them, and to present their ruinous past and future to them in a beautiful guise.
