Transliteration:( Wa kazaalika haqqat Kalimatu Rabbika 'alal lazeena kafarooo annahum Ashaabun Naar )
"So the word of your Lord proved true against the infidels that they are the inmates [15] of the Fire."
This verse confirms that Allah’s decree about the fate of persistent disbelievers is unquestionably true—they are destined for Hellfire. But this refers specifically to those who die in a state of disbelief, particularly those who rejected Divine knowledge after it was made clear to them.
Many others who once disbelieved later embraced Islam and rose to high ranks in Paradise. Hence, the final judgment depends not on a person’s initial disbelief but on the state in which they die.

Please refer to Surah Muminun ayat 4 which provides the complete commentary from verse 4 through 6.
(40:6) Thus has the decree of your Lord become due against the unbelievers. They are destined for the Fire.[5]
5. That is, the torment that seized them in the world was not their final punishment, but Allah has also decreed that they shall go to Hell. Another meaning can be: Just as the nations of the past have gone to their doom, so will those people also who are committing disbelief go to Hell, according to the fixed decree of Allah.
