Transliteration:( Istahwaza 'alaihimush shaitaanu fa ansaahum zikral laah; ulaaa'ika hizbush shaitaaan; alaaa innaa hizbash shaitaani humul khaasiroon )
“Shaitaan has gained the mastery over them. So, he has made them forget [65] the remembrance of Allah. They are the party of Shaitaan. Surely, Shaitaan’s party [66] is the loser.”
This means they are so deeply caught up in their cunning schemes, lies, and worldly manipulation,
that they have no time or concern for the worship of Allah Almighty.
Even when they pray or take oaths, it is not for the sake of divine worship, but merely acts of deception.
This means that doing a good deed with a bad intention is an act of the devil.
Though the hypocrites were:
Offering Salaah,
Fasting,
Giving Zakaat —
they did so only to deceive the believers and maintain a false image.
Hence, they have been declared the party of Shaitaan, and his party is ultimately the loser—
both in this world and the Hereafter.
