| Transliteration | Inna jaAAalna fee aAAnaqihim aghlalan fahiya ila al-athqani fahum muqmahoona |

| Asad | Behold, around their necks We have put shackles, [Zamakhshari: "[This is] an allegory of their deliberate denial of the truth." See notes on 13:5 and 34:33.] reaching up to their chins, so that their heads are forced up; [Sc., "and they cannot see the right way" (Razi); their "forced-up heads" symbolize also their arrogance. On the other hand, God's "placing shackles" around the sinners' necks is a metaphor similar to His "sealing their hearts and their hearing", spoken of in 2:7 and explained in the corresponding note. The same applies to the metaphor of the "barriers" and the "veiling" mentioned in the next verse.] |
