Tafsir of Yunus 10:33

Thus is the Word of your Lord justified against those who rebel (disobey Allah), that they will not believe. These idolators disbelieved and continued to practice their Shirk, and worship others beside Allah. But they knew that He is the Creator, the Sustainer and the only One of authority and control in this universe, the One Who sent His Messengers to single Him out for all worship. As they disbelieved and were persistent in their Shirk, Allah's Word proved true and was justified that they would be miserable inhabitants of the Fire. Allah said:

قالوا بلى ولكن حقت كلمة العذاب على الكفرين

They will say: "Yes,'' but the Word of torment has been justified against the disbelievers! (39:71)
