فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِهِۦٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ
Faman a th lamu mimmani iftar a AAal a All a hi ka th iban aw ka thth aba bi a y a tihi innahu l a yufli h u almujrimoon a
And who could be more wicked than they who attribute their own lying inventions to God or give the lie to His messages? Verily, those who are lost in sin will never attain to a happy state25 -
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., in the life to come. In this context, the "attributing of one's own lying inventions to God" would seem to apply specifically to the wanton accusation that Muhammad himself composed the Qur'an and then attributed it to God; and the "giving the lie to God's messages" refers to the attitude of those who make such an accusation and, consequently, reject the Qur'an (Razi)

Who can be more unjust than the one who himself forges a lie, then ascribes it to Allah or falsifies His real Revelations? Indeed, such criminals can never prosper.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah or deny His revelations? Indeed, the wicked will never succeed.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning Allah and denieth His revelations? Lo! the guilty never are successful.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Who doth more wrong than such as forge a lie against Allah or deny His Signs? But never will prosper those who sin.
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
