Abraham
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[14:43]
the while they will be running confusedly to and fro, with their heads upraised [in supplication], unable to look away from what they shall behold, and their hearts an abysmal void.

* v.43 : This verse connects with the last sentence of Abraham’s prayer, namely, his reference to “the Day on which the [last] reckoning will come to pass.” The wrongdoers mentioned here are those who indulge in the belief “that there are other powers that can rival God” (cf. verse 30 above), and thus commit the unforgivable sin of shirk. As regards the “respite” granted to them, see the first clause of 11:20 and the corresponding note 39.
* Lit., “their gaze will not revert to them.”
