Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 14 Ibrahim, Ayat 42-43
وَلَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ اللّٰهَ غَافِلًا عَمَّا يَعۡمَلُ الظّٰلِمُوۡنَ ؕ اِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمۡ لِيَوۡمٍ تَشۡخَصُ فِيۡهِ الۡاَبۡصَارُ ۙ
﴿14:42﴾
مُهۡطِعِيۡنَ مُقۡنِعِىۡ رُءُوۡسِهِمۡ لَا يَرۡتَدُّ اِلَيۡهِمۡ طَرۡفُهُمۡ ۚ وَاَفۡـئِدَتُهُمۡ هَوَآءٌ ؕ
﴿14:43﴾
(14:42) Do not think Allah is heedless of the evil deeds in which the evil-doers
are engaged. He is merely granting them respite until a Day when their eyes
shall continue to stare in horror, (14:43) when they shall keep pressing ahead in haste, their heads lifted
up, their gaze directed forward,54 unable to look away from what
they behold, their hearts utterly void.
Notes
54. This graphic picture depicts the horrible plight of the wrongdoers on
the Day of Reckoning. When they will realize the situation, they will be so
taken aback that they will have their looks fixed straight in front of them
without seeing anything.
