Past tense verb
زُيِّنَ (Beautified) is a past tense verb — the action already happened and is complete.
We translate it in past tense — "did", "created", "said", etc.
Passive voice
زُيِّنَ (Beautified) is passive — the action is happening to someone, but who is doing it is not mentioned.
We translate it as "is/was [done]" — e.g. "was created", "is known".
Verb form II — intensified
زُيِّنَ (Beautified) uses form II (فَعَّلَ) — the middle letter is doubled, which makes the meaning stronger or causative.
The meaning is more intense than the basic form, or means "to make someone do [action]".
Sahih International
Beautified for those who disbelieve is the life of this world, and they ridicule those who believe. But those who fear Allāh are above them on the Day of Resurrection. And Allāh gives provision to whom He wills without account.
