Moreover, they rejected the truth when it came to them on the lips of the Messengers (peace and blessings be upon them all).

Allah says;

فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن كَذَبَ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَكَذَّبَ بِالصِّدْقِ إِذْ جَاءهُ

Then, who does more wrong than one who utters a lie against Allah, and denies the truth when it comes to him!

meaning, there is no one who does more wrong than such a person, because he combines the two aspects of falsehood, disbelief in Allah and disbelief in the Messenger of Allah. They made false claims and rejected the truth, Allah threatened them;

أَلَيْسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكَافِرِينَ



Is there not in Hell an abode for the disbelievers!

Who are the deniers and rejecters?
