71 Preface إِذِ الأَغلالُ في أَعناقِهِم وَالسَّلاسِلُ يُسحَبونَYusuf AliWhen the yokes (shall be)1 round their necks, and the chains; they shall be dragged along-The rejection of God’s Message, however brought, carries its own penalty. The yoke of spiritual slavery to Sin and Evil is fastened more and more firmly round the rejecter’s neck, because there is no one to safeguard his freedom, and the chains of superstitions and the ugly consequences of evil restrict his freedom and the limited faculty of choice which was given by God to man. This process receives its climax at the Hour of Judgment.
