Commentary: The word literally meaning shank, metaphorically signifies a calamity or affliction (27:45 & 68:43). The verse signifies that one affliction will be joined to another for the departed soul; the agony of leaving his near and dear ones behind will be joined to the agony of death and the punishment awaiting the disbeliever in the next world. 4475. Commentary: right belief and ✓ (offered Prayers) for good conduct, the two basic principles of the Islamic teaching. Prayer is the essence of which is total submission and conforming one's conduct to Divine laws. Thus the verse purports to say that both the mind and body of disbelievers rebelled against God. 4476.
