Verse 90–91

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوٓا۟ believe إِنَّمَا Verily ٱلْخَمْرُ the intoxicants وَٱلْمَيْسِرُ and [the] games of chance وَٱلْأَنصَابُ and (sacrifices at) altars وَٱلْأَزْلَـٰمُ and divining arrows رِجْسٌۭ (are an) abomination مِّنْ from عَمَلِ (the) work ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ (of) the Shaitaan فَٱجْتَنِبُوهُ so avoid it لَعَلَّكُمْ so that you may تُفْلِحُونَ (be) successful ٩٠

O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allāh], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.

إِنَّمَا Only يُرِيدُ intends ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ the Shaitaan أَن to يُوقِعَ cause بَيْنَكُمُ between you ٱلْعَدَٰوَةَ [the] enmity وَٱلْبَغْضَآءَ and [the] hatred فِى through ٱلْخَمْرِ intoxicants وَٱلْمَيْسِرِ and gambling وَيَصُدَّكُمْ and hinders you عَن from ذِكْرِ (the) remembrance ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَعَنِ and from ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ ۖ the prayer فَهَلْ So will أَنتُم you مُّنتَهُونَ (be) the ones who abstain ٩١

Satan only wants to cause between you animosity and hatred through intoxicants and gambling and to avert you from the remembrance of Allāh and from prayer. So will you not desist?
