Tafsir - Verse 6&7

Mentioning the Worse and Best of Creation
and Their Recompense

Allah informs of what will happen to the
wicked disbelievers among the People of
the Scripture and the idolators who oppose the Allah's divinely revealed
Books and the Prophets whom He sent.

He says that they will be in the fire of Hell on the Day of Judgement and they will abide therein forever.

This means that they will remain in it and they will have no way out of it and they will not cease
being in it.

﴿ﺃَﻭْﻟَـﺌِﻚَ ﻫُﻢْ ﺷَﺮُّ ﺍﻟْﺒَﺮِﻳَّﺔِ﴾
(They are the worst of creatures.) meaning, they are the worst creation that Allah has fashioned and created. Then Allah informs about the situation of the righteous people who believed in their
hearts and performed righteous deeds with their bodies. He says that they are the best of creation. Abu Hurayrah and a group of the scholars have used this
Ayah as a proof that the believers have a status among the creatures that is better than the angels. This is because Allah says,

﴿ﺃُﻭْﻟَـﺌِﻚَ ﻫُﻢْ ﺧَﻴْﺮُ ﺍﻟْﺒَﺮِﻳَّﺔِ﴾
(They are the best of creatures.)
