So who is more unjust than he who invents a lie about Allah or denies His signs? Indeed, the criminals will not succeed
English Transliteration
Faman athlamu mimmani iftara AAala Allahi kathiban aw kaththaba biayatihi innahu la yuflihu almujrimoona
Tafsir of Verse 17
And who does greater evil than he who forges against God a lie, or cries lies to His signs? Surely the sinners do not prosper.
Who doth more wrong than such as forge a lie against Allah, or deny His Signs? But never will prosper those who sin.
The last verse (17) emphasizes the subject conclusively by warning that attributing any statement to Allah Ta` ala that was not His Word, or denying what actually was, were crimes deserving severe punishment.
