الآية رقم (86) - وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَكَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا أُوْلَـئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَحِيمِ

(86) - (But those who disbelieved and denied Our signs - they are the companions of Hellfire.)

When Allah (swt) speaks about the Paradise, the believers, the doers of good and the pious, He (swt) also speaks about the opposite:

( وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا) (But those who disbelieved ): The Arabic word of (disbelieve) means to cover and conceal. Therefore, the disbelievers are those who conceal the existence of Allah (swt).

( وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَحِيمِ) (and denied Our signs – they are the companions of Hellfire ): Here, they are described as being companions of Hellfire because the companion is the one who chooses his companion, so they have chosen the Hellfire as a companion.
