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 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.
21. And who is more unjust than one who fabricates a lie against Allah [24], or denies His signs [25]? Surely, such wrongdoers will never succeed.

Types of Polytheistic Beliefs:
For example, to hold the belief that Allah has granted some of the saints the authority to control matters in the universe, just as the polytheists believe about their gods and goddesses that they can fulfill their needs and remove their difficulties; or to believe that Allah does not listen to the prayers and supplications of sinners like us, therefore it is necessary that we present our plea to some saintly person, and he will convey our plea to Allah; or to claim that along with Allah, there are many other beings who are partners and helpers in the divinity of this universe; or to believe that a certain saint of ours will intercede for us on the Day of Judgment and save us from Allah’s grasp and divine punishment. All such things are slander against Allah and the source of shirk.
[25]
What Are the Signs (Ayat) of Allah:
By "ayat" is not meant only the verses of the Quran, but also those signs that are present within the human body and, in addition to being evidence of Allah’s perfect knowledge and wisdom, also indicate His being One without partner. Likewise, those signs that are spread all around in the entire universe outside of man. Now, if a person keeps turning away from all these kinds of signs, then how is his salvation possible?
