(21) “Who could be more unjust than one who fabricates lies against Allah or denies His signs? Surely the wrongdoers will never succeed.”
That is, no one is greater in injustice and obstinacy than one who possesses either of these two qualities—so what of one in whom they are both combined?—fabricating lies against Allah or denying His signs brought by the messengers. Such a person is the most unjust of all people, and a wrongdoer will never succeed.
﴿٢١﴾ ﴿وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِآيَاتِهِ إِنَّهُ لا يُفْلِحُ الظَّالِمُونَ﴾ .
أي: لا أعظم ظلما وعنادا، ممن كان فيه أحد الوصفين، فكيف لو اجتمعا، افتراء الكذب على الله، أو التكذيب بآياته، التي جاءت بها المرسلون، فإن هذا أظلم الناس، والظالم لا يفلح أبدا.
