Tafsir Ibn Katheer in English

Abridged Explanation of the Quran

By Allah, We sent Messengers to communities before you - O Messenger, but Satan made their evil deeds of idolatry, disbelief and sins seem good to them.
He is their so-called helper on the Day of Judgement so let them ask him for help.
They will have a painful punishment of the Day of Judgement.

Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali

By Allah, We indeed sent (Messengers) to the nations before you (O Muhammad SAW), but Shaitan (Satan) made their deeds fair-seeming to them. So he (Satan) is their Wali (helper) today (i.e. in this world), and theirs will be a painful torment.

Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim

Rest assured O Muhammad by Allah, your Creator, We sent Messengers before you to nations who preceded in order of time. They presented them with the spirit of truth guiding into all truth. But AL-Shaytan (Satan) allured them to brighter worlds as a logical result or sequence to their doings and he led the way then and he leads it now amid the encircling gloom wherein he leads them by the nose, but they shall suffer painfully for it

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(16:63) By God, (O Muhammad), We sent Messengers before you to many communities (and it has always been so that) Satan made their evil deeds seem fair to them, (and so they did not believe in the Message). The same Satan has this day become their patron also and they are incurring the most painful punishment.
