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

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

There is no greater wrongdoer then he who makes up a lie about Allah, so how could I make a change in this Qur’ān, inventing a lie about it as you want me to? Those who overstep the limits of Allah by inventing lies about Him will not succeed.
