39:32 Az-Zumar (The Groups)

يقول تعالى، محذرا ومخيرا: أنه لا أظلم وأشد ظلما { مِمَّنْ كَذَبَ عَلَى اللَّهِ } إما بنسبته إلى ما لا يليق بجلاله، أو بادعاء النبوة، أو الإخبار بأن اللّه تعالى قال كذا، أو أخبر بكذا، أو حكم بكذا وهو كاذب، فهذا داخل في قوله تعالى: { وَأَنْ تَقُولُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ } إن كان جاهلا، وإلا فهو أشنع وأشنع. { وَكَذَّبَ بِالصِّدْقِ إِذْ جَاءَهُ } أي: ما أظلم ممن جاءه الحق المؤيد بالبينات فكذبه، فتكذيبه ظلم عظيم منه، لأنه رد الحق بعد ما تبين له، فإن كان جامعا بين الكذب على اللّه والتكذيب بالحق، كان ظلما على ظلم.{ أَلَيْسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِلْكَافِرِينَ } يحصل بها الاشتفاء منهم، وأخذ حق اللّه من كل ظالم وكافر. { إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ }

يقول عز وجل مخاطبا للمشركين الذين افتروا على الله وجعلوا معه آلهة أخرى وادعوا أن الملائكة بنات الله وجعلوا لله ولدا تعالى الله عن قولهم علوا كبيرا ومع هذا كذبوا بالحق إذ جاءهم على ألسنة رسل الله صلوات الله وسلامه عليهم أجمعين ولهذا قال عز وجل "فمن أظلم ممن كذب على الله وكذب بالصدق إذ جاءه" أي لا أحد أظلم من هذا لأنه جمع بين طرفي الباطل كذب على الله وكذب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قالوا الباطل وردوا الحق ولهذا قال جلت عظمته متوعدا لهم "أليس في جهنم مثوى للكافرين" وهم الجاحدون المكذبون.

The Punishment of the Disbelievers and Liars, and the Reward of the Sincere Believers

The idolators uttered lies against Allah and said that there were other gods besides Him and claimed that the angels were the daughters of Allah and that Allah had a son -- glorified be He far above all that they say. Moreover, they rejected the truth when it came to them on the lips of the Messengers (peace and blessings be upon them all). Allah says:

فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن كَذَبَ علَى اللَّهِ وَكَذَّبَ بِالصِّدْقِ إِذْ جَآءَهُ

(Then, who does more wrong than one who utters a lie against Allah, and denies the truth when it comes to him!) meaning, there is no one who does more wrong than such a person, because he combines the two aspects of falsehood, disbelief in Allah and disbelief in the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They made false claims and rejected the truth, Allah threatened them:

أَلَيْسَ فِى جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكَـفِرِينَ

(Is there not in Hell an abode for the disbelievers) who are the deniers and rejecters. Then Allah says:

وَالَّذِى جَآءَ بِالصِّدْقِ وَصَدَّقَ بِهِ

(And he who has brought the truth and (those who) believed therein,) Mujahid, Qatadah, Ar-Rabi` bin Anas and Ibn Zayd said, "The one who brought the truth was the Messenger ." `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam said:

وَالَّذِى جَآءَ بِالصِّدْقِ

("And he who has brought the truth) means the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

وَصَدَّقَ بِهِ

(and (those who) believed therein) means the Muslims."

أُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الْمُتَّقُونَ

(they are those who have Taqwa). Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "They fear and shun Shirk."

لَهُم مَّا يَشَآءُونَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ

(They shall have all that they will desire with their Lord.) means, in Paradise; whatever they ask for they will have.

لَهُم مَّا يَشَآءُونَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ ذَلِكَ جَزَآءُ الْمُحْسِنِينَ - لِيُكَـفِّرَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ أَسْوَأَ الَّذِى عَمِلُواْ وَيَجْزِيَهُمْ أَجْرَهُمْ بِأَحْسَنِ الَّذِى كَـانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ

(That is the reward of doers of good. So that Allah may expiate from them the evil of what they did and give them the reward, according to the best of what they used to do.) This is like the Ayah:

أُوْلَـئِكَ الَّذِينَ نَتَقَبَّلُ عَنْهُمْ أَحْسَنَ مَا عَمِلُواْ وَنَتَجَاوَزُ عَن سَيْئَـتِهِمْ فِى أَصْحَـبِ الْجَنَّةِ وَعْدَ الصِّدْقِ الَّذِى كَانُواْ يُوعَدُونَ

(They are those from whom We shall accept the best of their deeds and overlook their evil deeds. (They shall be) among the dwellers of Paradise, a promise of truth, which they have been promised.) (46:16).

أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِكَافٍ عَبْدَهُ وَيُخَوِّفُونَكَ بِالَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِ وَمَن يُضْـلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ هَـادٍ - وَمَن يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِن مُّضِلٍّ أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِعَزِيزٍ ذِى انتِقَامٍ - وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُمْ مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ قُلْ أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ إِنْ أَرَادَنِىَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ هَلْ هُنَّ كَـشِفَـتُ ضُرِّهِ أَوْ أَرَادَنِى بِرَحْمَةٍ هَلْ هُنَّ مُمْسِكَـتُ رَحْمَتِهِ قُلْ حَسْبِىَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّـلُ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ

So who is — in other words none is — a greater wrongdoer than he who imputes falsehood to God by ascribing partners and child to Him and who denies the truth namely the Qur’ān when it reaches him? Is there not a fitting abode in Hell for the disbelievers? Indeed there is.

All deeds will be given against oppressions and infringement of rights, but one's 'iman (faith) will not be given

After having reported all Hadith narrations cited above, it has been said in Tafsir Mazhari that the thing mentioned about giving the deeds of the oppressor in settlement of the rights of the oppressed means deeds other than 'iman (faith). The reason is that all oppressions and injustices are acts of sin. They are not kufr or disbelief. And the punishment of sinful deeds will be limited as against 'iman (faith) which is a limitless deed. Its reward too is limitless, that is, living in Jannah forever - even though, it may happen after having gone through the punishment of sins and staying in Jahannam for a certain period of time. The outcome is, when the good deeds of the oppressor - with the exception of 'iman (faith) - will finish once given to the oppressed to the last deed leaving nothing behind but 'iman, then, this 'iman will not be taken away from him forcibly. Instead, the rights of the oppressed will be paid back by putting the sins of the oppressed in the account of the oppressor. As a result, this person will, after he has undergone the punishment of his sins, will finally enter the Jannah, and then this state of his will be everlasting. The author of Tafsir Mazhari says that Imam al-Baihaqi has also said so.

In verse 32, it was said: كَذَّبَ بِالصِّدْقِ (rejects the truth) while in verse 33, it was said: الَّذِي جَاءَ بِالصِّدْقِ (As for the one who has come with the truth): At both these places, the word الصِّدْقِ : (as-sidq: the truth) means teachings brought by the Holy Prophet ﷺ ، whether it be the Qur'an, or be other teachings of ahadith in addition to the Qur'an. And the expression: صَدَّقَ بِهِ (saddaga bihi: and believed it to be true - 39:33) includes all believers who have testified to it.
