Allah, exalted is His praise, says — He addresses these very arrogant ones when they say to their Lord, "We did no evil at all": "Enter the gates of Hell (jahannam)" — that is to say: the levels of Hell — خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا (abiding therein eternally) — that is to say: remaining therein forever. فَلَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ — He says: indeed, how evil is the abode of whoever was arrogant toward Allah and acknowledged neither His lordship (rubūbiyya) nor affirmed His oneness — Hell (jahannam).
