Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Punishment of the Deniers and the Description of the Qur'anإِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِى ءَايَـتِنَا(Verily, Yulhiduna Fi Our Ayat) Ibn `Abbas said, "Al-Ilhad means putting words in their improper places." Qatadah and others said, "It means disbelief and obstinate behavior."لاَ يَخْفَوْنَ عَلَيْنَآ(are not hidden from Us.) This is a stern warning and dire threat, stating that He, may He be exalted, knows who denies His signs, Names and attributes, and He will punish them for that.
