    قُلۡ هَلۡ أُنَبِّئُكُم بِشَرّٖ مِّن ذَٰلِكَ مَثُوبَةً عِندَ ٱللَّهِۚ مَن لَّعَنَهُ ٱللَّهُ وَغَضِبَ عَلَيۡهِ وَجَعَلَ مِنۡهُمُ ٱلۡقِرَدَةَ وَٱلۡخَنَازِيرَ وَعَبَدَ ٱلطَّـٰغُوتَۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ شَرّٞ مَّكَانٗا وَأَضَلُّ عَن سَوَآءِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ

    Transliteration:( Qul hal unabbi'ukum bisharrim min zaalika masoobatan 'indal laah; malla'ana hul laahu wa ghadiba 'alaihi wa ja'ala minhumul qiradata wal khanaazeera wa 'abadat Taaghoot; ulaaa'ika sharrum makaananw wa adallu 'an Sawaaa'is Sabeel )

    60. Say, "Shall I inform you of those who are in a worse condition with Allah than that? They are those whom Allah has cursed, upon whom is His Wrath, and He made some of them into monkeys and pigs, and worshippers of false gods [183]. They are worse in position and further astray from the Right Path." (Kanzul Imaan Translation)

    (60) Say, "Shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that[271] as penalty from Allāh? [It is that of] those whom Allāh has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs and slaves of ṭāghūt.[272] Those are worse in position and further astray from the sound way."

    📖 Commentary of Verse 60 – Surah Al-Ma’idah

    “Say, ‘Shall I inform you of those who are in a worse condition with Allah than that? They are those whom Allah has cursed, upon whom is His Wrath, and He made some of them into monkeys and pigs, and worshippers of false gods [183]. They are worse in position and further astray from the Right Path.’”

    ✅ [182] The Status of Belief in Prophets

    This verse implies that those who believe in all the Prophets are under Allah’s mercy, while those who reject even one Prophet incur Allah’s wrath and curse. Firm belief in all Prophets is essential in Islam.

    ✅ [183] A Reflection on the Past and Present Condition of Some Jews

    This part addresses the Jews, urging them to reflect on their historical and current spiritual state. It reminds them of the Quranic narratives where some were transformed into monkeys and pigs as a punishment for their disobedience (e.g., worshipping the calf). It also points to their ongoing engagement in idol worship despite their lineage and past favor.

    The verse teaches that mere ancestry or connection to pious forebears does not grant favor with Allah; true faith and obedience are what count. The arrogance of some Jews claiming superiority due to their prophetic lineage is therefore unfounded.

    Ibn-Kathir

    The tafsir of Surah Maidah verse 60 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
    Please refer to Surah Maidah ayat 59 which provides the complete commentary from verse 59 through 63.

    (5:60) Then say to them: ‘Shall I tell you about those whose retribution with Allah is even worse? They are the ones whom Allah has cursed, and who incurred His wrath and some of whom were changed into apes and swine, and who served the false deities. Such have an even worse rank and have strayed farther away from the right path.[91]

    Ala-Maududi

    (5:60) Then say to them: ‘Shall I tell you about those whose retribution with Allah is even worse? They are the ones whom Allah has cursed, and who incurred His wrath and some of whom were changed into apes and swine, and who served the false deities. Such have an even worse rank and have strayed farther away from the right path.[91]

    91. This alludes to the Jews whose history shows that they were subjected, over and over again, to the wrath and scourge of God. When they desecrated the law of the Sabbath the faces of many of them were distorted, and subsequently their degeneration reached such a low point that they took to worshipping Satan quite openly. The purpose of saying all this is to draw attention to their criminal boldness while they had sunk to the lowest level of evil, transgression and moral decadence, they vigorously opposed all those who, thanks to their faith, lived a truly pious and righteous life.

    (60) Say, "Shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that[271] as penalty from Allāh? [It is that of] those whom Allāh has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs and slaves of ṭāghūt.[272] Those are worse in position and further astray from the sound way."

    [271]- Referring to the punishment the People of the Scripture (in their censure of the Muslims) claimed was deserved by them. [272]- See footnote to 2:256.
