Tafseer Ibn Kathir

انظُرْ كَيفَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى اللّهِ الكَذِبَ

Look, how they invent a lie against Allah,

claiming purity for themselves, their claim that they are Allah's children and His loved ones,

their statement;
لَن يَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ إِلاَّ مَن كَانَ هُوداً أَوْ نَصَارَى
(None shall enter Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian) (2;111),

their statement;
لَن تَمَسَّنَا النَّارُ إِلاَّ أَيَّامًا مَّعْدُودَاتٍ
(The Fire shall not touch us but for a number of days) (3;24) and their reliance on the righteous deeds of their forefathers.

Allah has decreed that the good actions of the fathers do not help the children, when He said,
تِلْكَ أُمَّةٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَلَكُم مَّا كَسَبْتُمْ
(That was a nation who has passed away. They shall receive the reward of what they earned and you of what you earn). (2;134)

Allah then said,

وَكَفَى بِهِ إِثْمًا مُّبِينًا



and enough is that as a manifest sin.

meaning, these lies and fabrications of theirs are sufficient.

Allah's statement
