So Iblis, may God curse him, is a blocker of the path to the ultimate goal, seeking to turn you away from the truth and guidance.
لَعَنَهُ — cursed him. A past-tense verb of cursing with '-hu' ('him') fused on as its object, so it means 'cursed him' before its doer is named. This is a parenthetical curse-prayer ('may God curse him') dropped in right after the name of Iblis.
