The Holy Quran 58:19 — Surah Al-Mujadila

Arabic text

ٱسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ فَأَنسَىٰهُمْ ذِكْرَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ حِزْبُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ ۚ أَلَآ إِنَّ حِزْبَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ

Translation

Shaytaan has overpowered (possessed) them (thereby making them do what he wants) and made them forget to remember Allaah (because of which they disobey Allaah's commands). These are the group of Shaytaan. Behold! The group of Shaytaan is at a loss (the real losers in both worlds).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Shaytan has mastery over them: the one whom Shaytan fully overpowers has his heart and mind so distorted that he does not even remember that Allah is anything at all. How then could he understand the majesty, greatness and rank of Allah?
