Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah are those who have disbelieved, and they will not [ever] believe -
اردو — مودودی
یقیناً اللہ کے نزدیک زمین پر چلنے والی مخلوق میں سب سے بدتر وہ لوگ ہیں جنہوں نے حق کو ماننے سے انکار کر دیا پھر کسی طرح وہ اسے قبول کرنے پر تیار نہیں

Sesungguhnya binatang (makhluk) yang paling buruk di sisi Allah ialah orang-orang yang kafir, karena mereka itu tidak beriman.
Ibn Kathir
Striking Hard against Those Who disbelieve and break the Covenants
Allah states here that the worst moving creatures on the face of the earth are those who disbelieve, who do not embrace the faith, and break promises whenever they make a covenant, even when they vow to keep them,
وَهُمْ لاَ يَتَّقُونَ
(and they do not have Taqwa) meaning they do not fear Allah regarding any of the sins they commit.
فَإِمَّا تَثْقَفَنَّهُمْ فِى الْحَرْبِ
(So if you gain the mastery over them in war), if you defeat them and have victory over them in war,
فَشَرِّدْ بِهِم مَّنْ خَلْفَهُمْ
(then disperse those who are behind them,) by severely punishing the captured people according to Ibn `Abbas, Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Ad-Dahhak, As-Suddi, `Ata' Al-Khurasani and Ibn `Uyaynah. This Ayah commands punishing them harshly and inflicting casualties on them. This way, other enemies, Arabs and non-Arabs, will be afraid and take a lesson from their end,
لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ
(so that they may learn a lesson. )
As-Suddi commented, "They might be careful not to break treaties, so that they do not meet the same end."

إن شر ما دبَّ على الأرض عند الله الكفار المصرُّون على الكفر، فهم لا يصدقون رسل الله، ولا يُقرون بوحدانيته، ولا يتبعون شرعه.
