Surah Ankabut ayat 68 Tafsir Quran 29:68

﴿وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاءَهُ ۚ أَلَيْسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكَافِرِينَ﴾
[ العنكبوت: 68]

29:68 And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about Allah or denies the truth when it has come to him? Is there not in Hell a [sufficient] residence for the disbelievers?

And who — in other words there is none who — does greater wrong than he who invents a lie against God by ascribing partners to Him or denies truth be it the Prophet or the Book when it comes to him? Is there not in Hell a lodging an abode for the disbelievers? in other words there is such an abode therein and such a person belongs with them.

And who is more wrongful of actions than he who viscously and cheaply relates to-Allah falsehood or dismisses the truth when it comes right to his door step! But is there not in Hell enough room to accommodate all those who deny Allah and reject His statutes

The Blessing of the Sanctuary Here Allah reminds Quraysh how He blessed them by granting them access to His sanctuary which He has made ( open ) to ( all ) men, the dweller in it and the visitor from the country are equal there, and whoever enters it is safe, because he is in a place of great security, although the Arabs of the desert round about used to ambush and raid one another and kill one another.
As Allah says: لإِيلَـفِ قُرَيْشٍ - إِيلَـفِهِمْ رِحْلَةَ الشِّتَآءِ وَالصَّيْفِ - فَلْيَعْبُدُواْ رَبَّ هَـذَا الْبَيْتِ - الَّذِى أَطْعَمَهُم مِّن جُوعٍ وَءَامَنَهُم مِّنْ خوْفٍ ( For the protection of the Quraysh.
The caravans to set forth safe in winter and in summer.
So let them worship the Lord of this House.
Who has fed them against hunger, and has made them safe from fear. ) ( 106:1-4 ) أَفَبِالْبَـطِلِ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَبِنِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ يَكْفُرُونَ ( Then do they believe in falsehood, and deny the graces of Allah ) means, is the thanks that they give for this immense blessing to associate others with Him and worship others besides Him, idols and rivals بَدَّلُواْ نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ كُفْرًا وَأَحَلُّواْ قَوْمَهُمْ دَارَ الْبَوَارِ ( Have you not seen those who have changed the blessings of Allah into disbelief, and caused their people to dwell in the house of destruction ) ( 14:28 ) They disbelieved in the Prophet, servant and Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when what they should have done was to worship Allah Alone and not associate anything with Him, and to believe in, honor and respect the Messenger ﷺ, but they rejected him and fought him, and expelled him from their midst.
So, Allah took His blessing away from them, and killed those of them whom He killed at Badr, then His Messenger and the believers gained the upper hand, and Allah enabled His Messenger to conquer Makkah, and He disgraced them and humiliated them ( the disbelievers ).
Then Allah says: وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِباً أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُ ( And who does more wrong than he who invents a lie against Allah or denies the truth, when it comes to him ) There is no one who will be more severely punished than one who tells lies about Allah and says that Allah revealed something to him at the time when Allah did not reveal anything to him, or says, `I shall reveal something like that which Allah revealed.' And there is no one who will be more severely punished than one who denies the truth when it comes to him, for the former is a fabricator and the latter is a disbeliever.
Allah says: أَلَيْسَ فِى جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكَـفِرِينَ ( Is there not a dwelling in Hell for the disbelievers ) Then Allah says: وَالَّذِينَ جَـهَدُواْ فِينَا ( As for those who strive hard for Us, ) meaning the Messenger and his Companions and those who follow him, until the Day of Resurrection, لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَا ( We will surely guide them to Our paths.
) means, `We will help them to follow Our path in this world and the Hereafter.' Ibn Abi Hatim narrated that `Abbas Al-Hamdani Abu Ahmad -- one of the people of `Akka ( Palestine ) -- said, concerning the Ayah: وَالَّذِينَ جَـهَدُواْ فِينَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمَعَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ( As for those who strive hard for Us (in Our cause ), We will surely guide them to Our paths.
And verily, Allah is with the doers of good.) "Those who act upon what they know, Allah will guide them to that which they do not know." Ahmad bin Abu Al-Hawari said, "I told this to Abu Sulayman Ad-Darani, and he liked it and said: `No one who is inspired to do something good should do it until he hears a report concerning that; if he hears a report then he should go ahead and do it, and praise Allah because it was in accordance with what he himself felt."' وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمَعَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ( And verily, Allah is with the doers of good. ) Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Ash-Sha`bi said; "Isa bin Maryam, peace be upon him, said: `Righteousness means doing good to those who ill-treat you, it does not mean doing good to those who do good to you."' And Allah knows best.
This is the end of the Tafsir of Surat Al-`Ankabut.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah.

(29:68) Who can be more unjust than he who foists a lie on Allah or gives the lie to the Truth after it has come to him? *106 Is Hell not the resort of the unbelievers?

And who is more unjust than one meaning

*106) That is, " The Prophet has made a claim to Prophethood, and you have denied him.
Now there can be only two alternatives: If the Prophet has made a false claim in the name of Allah, there can be no one more wicked than he, and if you have belied a true Prophet, there can be no one more wicked than you. "

( Who doeth greater wrong ) who is more insolent towards, and bolder against, Allah ( than he who inventeth a lie concerning Allah ) thus ascribing to Him a son and partners, ( or denieth the Truth ) or denies Muhammad ( pbuh ) and the Qur’an ( when it cometh unto him ) when Muhammad ( pbuh ) and the Qur’an come to him? ( Is not there a home in hell for disbelievers ) Abu Jahl and his host?

And who does more wrong than he who invents a lie against Allah or denies the truth (Muhammad SAW and his doctrine of Islamic Monotheism and this Quran), when it comes to him? Is there not a dwelling in Hell for disbelievers (in the Oneness of Allah and in His Messenger Muhammad SAW)?
