14.Dragging and Darkening of the Faces


There is also the sahr – the dragging. Allah says: “The Day they will be dragged in the Fire on their faces (it will be said to them): ‘Taste you the touch of Hell!’” (54:48) So they will be dragged by their feet on their faces.

Then there is the punishment of the darkening of the faces. This is a humiliation for them. Allah says: “And those who have earned evil deeds, the recompense of an evil deed is the like thereof, and humiliating disgrace will cover them (their faces). No defender will they have from Allah. Their faces will be covered, as it were, with pieces from the darkness of night. They are dwellers of the Fire, they will abide therein forever.” (10:27) Look at the justice of Allah – those who have earned evil deeds – He only holds accountable for the actions.
