Tafsir of verse 32
Al-Mukhtasar
There is no one more wrong than the person who attributes to Allah what is not appropriate for Him, such as a partner, spouse or child, and who denies the Qur’ān. There is no one more wrong than the person who rejects the truth that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) brought. Is there not in the Fire an abode and home for those who reject Allah and what His Messenger brought? Indeed, there is an abode and home for them there.
Who is then more unjust than he who tells lies about Allah and rejects the truth when it comes to him? Is there no abode for the disbelievers in Hell?
Then, who does more wrong than one who utters a lie against Allâh,5 and denies the truth [this Qur’ân, the Prophet (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) and the Islâmic Monotheism] when it comes to him! Is there not in Hell an abode for the disbelievers?

Who, then, doth more wrong than one who utters a lie concerning Allah, and rejects the Truth when it comes to him; is there not in Hell an abode for blasphemers?
Who is then more unjust than he who utters a lie against Allah and (he who) gives the lie to the truth when it comes to him; is there not in hell an abode for the unbelievers?
So who is more unjust than he who lies against Allah and cries lies to the sincere (faith) as it has come to him? Is there not in Hell a lodging for the disbelievers?
Those are the ones from whom We will accept the best of what they did and overlook their misdeeds, [their being] among the companions of Paradise. [That is] the promise of truth which they had been promised.
