Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Final Return of the DoomedHaving mentioned the final of the blessed, Allah follows that with mention of the final return of the doomed when they are resurrected and brought to account. Allah says: هَـذَا وَإِنَّ لِلطَّـغِينَ(This is so! And for the Taghin), which refers to those who disobey Allah, may He be glorified, and oppose the Messengers of Allah, peace be upon them, لَشَرَّ مَـَابٍ(will be an evil final return.) means, the worst final return.
