[3811] Now that this message has been delivered to the Noble Messenger (ﷺ), he is told to unequivocally declare to the Deniers, in the face of their demands, that he would unyieldingly deliver the Message as it is. They are either to Believe or Deny: it is up to them; they should not expect compromises from his side (cf. al-Rāzī, Ibn ʿĀshūr).
[3812] That Truth is from God Almighty Himself nonetheless. So no one should expect it to be altered or changed to accommodate their demands (cf. al-Shawkānī).
[3813] Those who choose Denial over Believing will have Hellfire as their final destination (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Qurṭubī, Ibn Kathīr). So that they need to choose carefully (Abū Ḥayyān).
[3814] “Indeed the Deniers are the unjust ones!” (2: 254)
[3815] al-Muhl is generic for molten materials. It could be copper, lead or any such mineral which has reached its maximum temperature and/or murky oil (cf. Ibn Kathīr, al-Sijistānī, Gharīb al-Qur’ān, Ibn Fāris, Maqāyīs al-Lughah, al-Iṣfahānī, al-Mufradāt). This is what they get for a drink to quench their raging thirst within Hell’s fire and this for choosing Denial over Belief!
[3816] “Verily, how evil an abode and a station!” (25: 66)
