And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.

Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Only Valid Religion To Allah is Islam Allah rebukes those who prefer a religion other than the religion that He sent His Books and Messengers with, which is the worship of Allah Alone without partners, to Whom, وَلَهُ أَسْلَمَ مَن فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ (submitted all creatures in the heavens and the earth,) Willingly, or not.
