أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ
Araayta alla th ee yuka thth ibu bi al ddeen i
HAST THOU ever considered [the kind of man] who gives the lie to all moral law?1
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., who denies that there is any objective validity in religion as such and, thus, in the concept of moral law (which is one of the primary connotations of the term din - cf. note [3] on 109:6 ). Some commentators are of the opinion that in the above context din signifies "judgment", i.e., the Day of Judgment, and interpret this phrase as meaning "who calls the Day of Judgment a lie".

Have you seen the one who denies the Day of Judgment?
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Have you seen the one who denies the 'final' Judgment?
  - Mustafa Khattab
Hast thou observed him who belieth religion?
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Seest thou one who denies the Judgment (to come)? 6281
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Din may mean either (1) the Judgment to come, the responsibility in the moral and spiritual world, for all actions done by men, or (2) Faith, Religion, the principles of right and wrong in spiritual matters, which often conflict with selfish desires or predilections. It is men who deny Faith or future responsibility, that treat the helpless with contempt and lead arrogant selfish lives.
