Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Verse range: 32:22

Open in Qurani

ومن أظلم ممن ذكر بايات ربه ثم أعرض عنها

And who does more wrong than he who is reminded of the Ayat of his Lord, then turns aside therefrom, means, there is no one who does more wrong than the one whom Allah reminds of His signs and explains them to him clearly, then after that he neglects and ignores them, and turns away from them, forgetting them as if he does not know them. Qatadah said: "Beware of turning away from the remembrance of Allah, for whoever turns away from remembering Him will be the most misguided and the most in need, and the most guilty of sin.'' Allah says, warning the one who does that:

إنا من المجرمين منتقمون

Verily, We shall exact retribution from the criminals. meaning, `We shall avenge Ourselves on those who do that in the strongest possible terms.'
