Allah states that those who defy Him and His Messenger and contradict His commandments,

[كُبِتُواْ كَمَا كُبِتَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ]

(will be disgraced as those before them were disgraced) meaning, they will be humiliated, cursed and disgraced, just as what happened to their like were before them,

[وَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَآ ءَايَـتٍ بَيِّنَـتٍ]

(And We have sent down clear Ayat.) meaning, none contradicts or opposes them, except a disbeliever, rebellious, sinner,

[وَلِلْكَـفِرِينَ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ]

(And for the disbelievers is a disgraceful torment) meaning, as just recompense for their arrogant refusal to follow, obey and submit to the religion of Allah. Allah the Exalted said,

[يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُمُ اللَّهِ جَمِيعاً]

(On the Day when Allah will resurrect them all together) referring to the Day of Resurrection when He will gather the early and the latter generations in one area,

[فَيُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ]

(and inform them of what they did.) He will tell them all that they did in detail, whether good or evil,

[أَحْصَـهُ اللَّهُ وَنَسُوهُ]

(Allah has kept account of it, while they have forgotten it.) meaning, Allah recorded and kept all these actions, even though they have forgotten what they did,

[وَاللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ]

(And Allah is Witness over all things.) meaning, nothing escapes His knowledge, and no matter is hidden from Him or escapes His complete observation.
