Then who is more in the wrong than the one who forges a lie upon Lord Allah or rejects His verses? Those who have received their portion from the Book until when Our Messengers come to take back them, they will ask: "Where are those whom you were calling besides Allah?" They will reply: "They strayed from us", and they will bear witness against themselves that indeed they were disbelievers.
In every period, the people of Messengers who received the Lord’s Book were hiding and rejecting Its content from mankind. Lord’s Message Adhikr revealed to last Messenger Muhammad is for the entire mankind as explained in verse 6: 90. But after thirty years of Messenger’s departure, his people have become the Arabic Quran reading Fujjar who hide and reject Adhikr as explained in verse 3: 7. Hypocrites by distorting Lord's verses are forging lies upon Lord and their followers are rejecting Them.
Without considering the soul and the Hereafter, they are preferring bodily and worldly life. At the time of any of Fujjar's death, they will witness against their soul that indeed they were disbelievers. Similarly, the Fujjar will witness against their soul that indeed they were disbelievers on the Day of Judgment as explained in verse 6: 130. At the time of each Fujjar's death, Lord will tell him: "Nay you had received My verses, but you rejected them and were arrogant upon them, indeed you were among the disbelievers" as told in verse 39: 59. Messengers mentioned in this verse who take back the soul are the Angels as explained in verse 6: 60. See explanation 2: 24; 3: 10, and 4: 159.
