Surah al-Mulk ayah 22

Date: November 30, 2004 | 17 Shawwal 1425 Hijriah
Arabic text of ayah

Afaman yamshi mukibban 'ala wajhihi ahda amman yamshi sawiyyan 'ala siratin mustaqimin

Is one who goes along groveling on his face more guided than one who walks upright along the straight path?

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

This is a parable which Allah made of the believer and the disbeliever. So the condition of the disbeliever is like one who walks prone on his face. This is like a person walking bent over on his face (with his head down) instead of walking upright. This person does not know where he is going or how. Rather, he is lost, astray and confused. Is this person more guided... this person who walks upright is on a clear path, and he is straight within himself while his path is straight as well. This is their likeness in this world, and their likeness will be the same in the Hereafter. So the believer will be gathered (on the Day of Judgement) walking upright upon the straight path and the vast and spacious Paradise will be opened up for him. However, the disbeliever will be gathered walking down on his face to the Hellfire
