سُوْرَةُ الْاَنْعَامِ
Surah Al-An'aam (6) — Ayah 21
وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِهِۦٓ ۗ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ ﴿21﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And who does more aggression and wrong than he who invents a lie against Allâh or rejects His Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons or revelations)? Verily, the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers) shall never be successful.

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.
21. 1. Just as the one who fabricates lies against Allah (that is, falsely claims prophethood) is the greatest wrongdoer, in the same way, he is also a great wrongdoer who denies the signs of Allah and His true Messenger. Despite such a severe warning against the false claim of prophethood, the fact is that many people in every era have falsely claimed prophethood, and thus, indeed, the Prophet’s prophecy that there will be thirty great liars (Dajjals) will come true. Each one will claim that he is a prophet. In the past century as well, a person from Qadian claimed prophethood, and today his followers consider him a true prophet and some regard him as the Messiah and deity, just because a small group accepts him as a prophet. However, the fact that some people accept a liar as truthful cannot be proof of his truthfulness. For truthfulness, clear evidence from the Qur’an and Hadith is required.
21. 2. Since both of these are wrongdoers, neither the fabricator (of lies) will succeed, nor the denier (of the truth), so it is necessary that everyone should carefully consider their own end.
