➋ { وَ هُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ كٰفِرُوْنَ:} That is, the curse is upon those wrongdoers who possess these three qualities: they prevent others from the way of Allah, they seek crookedness in the way of Allah, and they deny the Hereafter. Otherwise, not every transgressor is cursed. Shah Abdul Qadir (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the Exalted Truth has called most sins injustice (wrongdoing) in the Noble Qur’an, but has not cursed except such people. (Mowdih) The meaning is that they recklessly commit every kind of evil word and deed because they are deniers of the Hereafter.

Muslims Who Obstruct the Path of Islam:
In this verse, another category of wrongdoers is mentioned, and such people are found in every community; for example, among Muslims as well, there are those who claim to be Muslims but say that the limits set by Islam are barbaric punishments. In today's era, it is impossible to implement them. Islam, by commanding women to stay in their homes, has made them prisoners. The era of the permissibility of slave girls and slaves has passed. Islam, in its own time, was a living movement, but today this system has become outdated and cannot keep up with the times. They import their political system from others and take their economic system from others as well, and say that in today's era, our economy cannot function without interest. All these statements are about obstructing the path of Islam and creating deviation in its straight path, and the reality is that such people do not believe in the Hereafter and in accountability before Allah, otherwise how could they say such things?
