Surah al-Qalam ayah 43

Date: October 17, 2004 | 3 Ramadan 1425 Hijriah
Arabic text of ayah

Khashi'atan absaruhum tarhaquhum dhillatun waqad kanu yud'awna ila as-sujudi wa hum salimuna

Their eyes will be cast down and they will be covered in shame, since they were called to prostrate when they were whole

The following is an excerpt of commentary on this ayah, from Tafsir Ibn Kathir:

In the final abode, due to their crimes and arrogance in the worldly life. Thus they will be punished with the opposite of what they did. When they were called to prostrate in the worldly life, they refused to do so even though they were healthy and secure. Therefore, they will be punished with the lack of ability to do so in the Hereafter. When the Almighty Lord makes Himself visible (before the believers), then the believers will fall down in prostration to Him, but no one of the disbelievers and hypocrites will be able to prostrate. rather, their backs will become one plate. Everytime one of them attempts to prostrate, he will bow his neck but will not be able to prostrate. This is just like in the life of this world, when these people were in opposition to what the believers were doing.
