Tafseer Ibn Kathir

The Most Unjust among all People

Allah said,

وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ وَهُوَ يُدْعَى إِلَى الاِْسْلَمِ

And who does more wrong than the one who invents a lie against Allah, while he is being invited to Islam?

وَاللَّهُ لَاا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ



And Allah guides not the people who are wrongdoers.
