The Disbelievers have no allies to protect them against Allah' chastisement; there are losers

                                                                                         

In the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind some important questions.
It seems compulsory for the serious one who is looking for the truth to have a look at those questions and if possible to answer them.
Allah' questions are many. In this series, these questions are chosen randomly.
-----------------------
The question in this article is:
Who is greater in evil and who does greater wrong than he who invented a lie concerning Allah?

What is a lie against Allah?
To ascribe to Him partner, equivalent and/or a son,
To claim that you are a prophet while you are not,
To claim that you have got Revealed Scripture while you do not,
To claim that Muhammad is not a Prophet although He is, and
To claim that the Quran is not the book Revealed by Allah

What is waiting for those who invent a lie against Allah?
Severe chastisement of Allah is upon them on the Day of Resurrection and they will dwell in the Eternal Fire. Herein, Allah describes how and why they are the great losers.
-----------------------

Verses 11:20-22 describe how and why they are the great losers those who invent a lie against Allah

The meanings of the verses 11:20-22

Verse 11:20 says:
They will not escape Allah's chastisement,
Nor have they any protecting friends to protect them from Allah.
They have no allies, no helpers to protect them against His chastisement.
For their leaders (who betrayed them), the torment will be double.
In other words, chastisement will be double, for their having led others astray.
They could not hear, the truth, nor did they use to see, it; that is to say, because of their extreme aversion to it,
They could not bear to hear the words of Muhammad out of hatred for him;
It is also said that this means: theirs is a double torment because they could not hear the words of Muhammad,
And they used not to see, they did not look at Muhammad out of hatred;
It is also said that this means: they used not to see Muhammad out of their hatred for him.

Verse 11:21 says:
Such are they who have lost their souls, for their journey’s end shall be to the Eternal Fire, made everlasting for them; and that which they used to invent, [of lies] concerning Allah, in the way of their claim(s)
Why they have lost their souls?
Because they have lost their dwelling place in the paradise!
How they have lost their dwelling place in the paradise?
Allah made for every soul a dwelling place in the paradise and another dwelling place in the Eternal Fire.
The disbelievers will dwell in their places in the Eternal Fire
The believers will dwell in their places in the paradise
What about the dwelling places in the paradise that made for the disbelievers?
The believers will inherit their dwelling places
What about the dwelling places in the Eternal Fire that made for the believers?
The disbelievers will inherit their dwelling places
Fair is fair!

Verse 11:22 says:
Without doubt, verily, they will be the greatest losers in the Hereafter.
They have lost their dwelling places in the Paradise and that which is in it.
