Sura 68
Aya 43
43
خاشِعَةً أَبصارُهُم تَرهَقُهُم ذِلَّةٌ ۖ وَقَد كانوا يُدعَونَ إِلَى السُّجودِ وَهُم سالِمونَ

Yusuf Ali

Their eyes will be1 cast down,- ignominy will cover them; seeing that they had been summoned aforetime to prostate in adoration, while they were in good shape,2 (and had refused).
  • Their past memories, combined with their present position, will then fill them with a sense of the deepest dismay and humiliation. See last note.
  • Salimun: whole, in full possession of the power of judgment and will; not constrained, as they now will be, by the Punishment staring them full in the face.
