The Holy Quran 22:53 — Surah Al-Hajj

Arabic text

لِّيَجْعَلَ مَا يُلْقِى ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ وَٱلْقَاسِيَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ لَفِى شِقَاقٍۭ بَعِيدٍ

Translation

(These doubts that are cast into peoples' hearts have different effects on different people. Allaah says that Shaytaan casts these doubts) So that Allaah makes the doubts cast by Shaytaan a test (to see whether they accept or reject) for those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy or doubtfulness) and for those whose hearts are hard (the Kuffaar). Indeed, the oppressors (those who succumb to these doubts) are in a far removed disagreement (they will argue at all costs. In this regard, Allaah says in verse 121 of Surah 6, "The Shayaateen will surely whisper evil (doubts) into the hearts of their friends so (sinners who are astray) that they dispute with you".)

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

وما كان هذا الفعل مِنَ الشيطان إلا ليجعله الله اختبارًا للذين في قلوبهم شك ونفاق، ولقساة القلوب من المشركين الذين لا يؤثِّرُ فيهم زجر. وإن الظالمين مِن هؤلاء وأولئك في عداوة شديدة لله ورسوله وخلافٍ للحق بعيد عن الصواب.
