(Ayah 28,27){ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا لَا يَرْجُوْنَ … :} One reason for their entering Hell is that they had no expectation of being held accountable for their deeds; otherwise, they would have corrected their actions. The second reason is that they vehemently denied Our signs. {’’ كِذَّابًا ‘‘} is the verbal noun of {’’ كَذَّبُوْا ‘‘}, and with it, the emphasis of {’’ كَذَّبُوْا ‘‘} has been stated. In the translation, this emphasis has been conveyed by the words "vehemently."
