16
“But those who disbelieve and deny Our signs will be the inhabitants of the Fire, abiding therein forever. What an evil destination!”
“Those who disbelieve and deny Our signs”—that is, they disbelieved [in them] without any scriptural or rational basis. Rather, proofs and clear evidences came to them, yet they denied them and obstinately opposed what they established.
“They will be the inhabitants of the Fire, abiding therein forever. What an evil destination!” For it combines every misery and hardship, wretchedness and torment.
﴿وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا أُولَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ﴾ .
﴿وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا﴾ أي: كفروا [بها] من غير مستند شرعي ولا عقلي، بل جاءتهم الأدلة والبينات، فكذبوا بها، وعاندوا ما دلت عليه.
﴿أُولَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ﴾ لأنها جمعت كل بؤس وشدة، وشقاء وعذاب.
