10:17

فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِهِۦٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ

faman aẓlamu mimmani if'tarā ʿalā l-lahi kadhiban aw kadhaba biāyātihi innahu lā yuf'liḥu l-muj'rimūna

So who is more unjust than he who invents a lie about Allāh or denies His signs? Indeed, the criminals will not succeed.

— Saheeh International

Who could be more wicked than someone who invents lies against God or denies His revelations? The guilty will never prosper.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

So who does more wrong than he who forges a lie against Allâh or denies His Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)? Surely, the Mujrimûn (criminals, sinners, disbelievers and polytheists) will never be successful!

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
