وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِٱلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُۥٓ ۚ أَلَيْسَ فِى جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ﴿68﴾

Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali

And who does more wrong than he who invents a lie against Allâh or denies the truth (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and his doctrine of Islâmic Monotheism and this Qur’ân), when it comes to him? Is there not a dwelling in Hell for disbelievers (in the Oneness of Allâh and in His Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)?

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

(Ayah 68) ➊ {وَ مَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا … :} The meaning of "zulm" is darkness, that is, to give someone else's right to another, because in darkness a person cannot put something in its proper place. The greatest right upon a person is that of Allah Almighty, because He created him. Therefore, the greatest justice is the oneness of Allah and worshipping Him alone, and the greatest injustice and unfairness is to associate anyone with Him and to worship that associate, which was the exclusive right of Allah Almighty. That is why it is said, who can be more unjust than the one who fabricates lies against Allah and associates partners with Him? Similarly, as long as the truth does not reach a person, there may be room for excuse, but after the coming of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and the truth having reached, who can be more unjust than the one who denies the truth? The purpose is that there is no one more unjust than these two.
➋ In { اَلَيْسَ فِيْ جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكٰفِرِيْنَ: ’’ لِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ ‘‘}, the "al" is for 'ahd (specificity), therefore the translation is "for those disbelievers," meaning, is there not a place in Hell for those disbelievers who fabricate lies against Allah and deny the truth after it has come to them? That is, surely their abode is Hell.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

68-1. That is, to claim that revelation comes to him from Allah while that is not the case, or for someone to say, "I can also send down what Allah has sent down." This is outright falsehood.

68-2. This is denial, and the one who commits it is a denier. Both are acts of disbelief, the punishment for which is Hell.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

And who is more unjust than one who fabricates a lie against Allah or denies the truth when it comes to him [100]? Is not Hell a sufficient abode for the disbelievers?

[100] When the Messenger of Allah claimed his prophethood, these people denied him. Now, only two possibilities remain. One is that the Messenger made a false claim and lied against Allah—then he would be the most unjust. And if he is truthful and, in reality, Allah has made him a Messenger, but these people deny him, then they are the most unjust. Now, whoever is unjust will inevitably have to suffer the punishment of Hell. Henceforth, these people should carefully consider their end.
