Transliteration:( Wa man azlamu mimma nif taraa 'alal laahi kaziban aw kazzaba bilhaqqi lammaa jaaa'ah; alaisa fee jahannama maswal lil kaafireen )
And who is more unjust than one who forges a lie [163] against Allah or denies the truth [164] when it comes to him? Is there not an abode in Hell for the infidels [165]?
There is no greater injustice than to fabricate a lie against Allah Almighty. This includes falsely claiming divine commands, distorting religious truths, or falsely attributing revelations. In this verse, the "truth" refers especially to the Holy Prophet ﷺ, as every word, action, and attribute of his is grounded in truth. He is the embodiment of truth—everything associated with him is true, and anything detached from him lacks authenticity. Even our sins, if linked to his mercy, would find forgiveness.
This also refers to those who denied the Prophet ﷺ despite his physical presence before them—as the people of Makkah did. It also alludes to those who turn away from his spiritual presence, which continues to illuminate the hearts of his devoted followers. Whether in physical form or through luminous spiritual influence, the truth brought by the Prophet ﷺ demands belief and reverence.
The verse ends with a rhetorical question: "Is there not a place in Hell for the disbelievers?" Indeed, Hell is the destined abode for all disbelievers, though their punishment will vary according to the degree of their disbelief and their level of transgression.
The tafsir of Surah Ankabut verse 68 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Ankabut ayat 67 which provides the complete commentary from verse 67 through 69.
(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?
106. That is, “The Prophet (peace be upon him) has made a claim to prophethood, and you have denied him. Now there can be only two alternatives: If the Prophet (peace be upon him) has made a false claim in the name of Allah, there can be no one more wicked than him, and if you have belied a true Prophet (peace be upon him), there can be no one more wicked than you.”
