The Worst of Creatures

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمۡ شَرُّ ٱلۡبَرِيَّةِ ۝٦

Lo! those who disbelieve, among the People of the Scripture and the idolaters, will abide in fire of hell. They are the worst of created beings.

Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall

Meaning

Those who disbelieve will be in the fire of Hell, abiding in it. They are the worst of creatures.

Insight

According to Elmalılı, this judgement is especially for those who knowingly deny after the clear proof has come.

Reflect

Take care not to deny a truth you know.
