۞ فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن كَذَبَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلصِّدْقِ إِذْ جَآءَهُۥٓ ۚ أَلَيْسَ فِى جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ﴿32﴾
Then, who does more wrong than one who utters a lie against Allâh, and denies the truth [this Qur’ân, the Prophet (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) and the Islâmic Monotheism] when it comes to him! Is there not in Hell an abode for the disbelievers?

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.

32. So who is more unjust than the one who fabricates a lie against Allah and denies the truth when it comes to him [48]? Is not Hell the proper abode for such disbelievers?

[48]
Who are the greatest wrongdoers?

That is, on the Day of Resurrection, the greatest wrongdoer and the most deserving of punishment will be the person who fabricated such beliefs that Allah has delegated many of His powers and authorities to His beloved ones. And whatever powers they possess are only those granted by Allah; they are not inherent to them. Then, when they are informed of the reality, they consider the one who explains it to be a liar and oppose him. Another meaning could be that if someone falsely claims to be a prophet of Allah and says that Allah’s word is revealed to him, then such a person is the greatest wrongdoer. And if someone is truly a prophet of Allah and presents Allah’s word, but the listener denies him, then this person is the greatest wrongdoer. According to the first meaning, the referent of this verse is a single person, and according to the second meaning, there are two different persons. And all these are types of great wrongdoers.
