Sura 36
Aya 8
8
إِنّا جَعَلنا في أَعناقِهِم أَغلالًا فَهِيَ إِلَى الأَذقانِ فَهُم مُقمَحونَ

Ali Unal

We have surely put chains around the necks (of the unbelievers among your people), right up to their chins, so that their heads are forced up.1
  • This is an allegory that alludes to people being purposefully prejudiced and too haughty to believe. It also signifies that they never think about their selves, their being, or their physical composition, that which would enable them to come to recognize God’s signs in them and believe.
