Translation

(32) Who, then, is more unjust than he who lies about God and rejects the truth when it comes to him? Is not Hell an abode for those who deny the truth? (33) He who brings the truth, and he who testifies to it as such—those are surely the people who are God-fearing: (34) they will have everything they wish for from their Lord. Such is the reward of those who do good: (35) God will efface their worst deeds from their record and give them their reward in accordance with the best of their actions.

Commentary

(a) Every ideology which is against the reality amounts to levelling a false allegation against God. In every age, people have been living on such falsehoods. The mission of the dayee is to prove the falsehood of such theories. Even then, there are people who are adamant in their adherence to such false ideologies. It is they who will be cast into the fire of Hell, whereas those who mend themselves, become supporters of the Truth and prove themselves to be God-fearing, will have the appreciation of Almighty God, who will overlook their failings and value them for their good deeds.
