Al-Ma'idah (The Table Spread)

!وَمَا ذُبِحَ عَلَى النُّصُبِ(

يُوفِضُونَits mother word is افاضه means the swift movement like the rapid flow of the river water from its fountain head.

Then it turned towards another sign and added: It is when their eyes are cast down by the extreme shock and horror and they watch submissively.

خَاشِعَةً أَبْصَارُهُمْ

Insult and disgrace covers their entire existence.

تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ

In the end of the ayat it said: This is the day which was constantly promised to them.

ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ

(70:44

Yea this is the same promised day which they we fully making fun of it and repeatedly they were telling: Possibly if by chance this day exists then at that time our condition will be better than believers. Whereas on that day they do not dare to rise their heads out of horror, fear and shame. The dust of humiliation and miserable worthlessness cover all over them. They get submerged in the ocean of sorrow and regrets. Certainly that day they are repentant and penitent.

O Merciful Lord! On that horrifying day cover us with the apparel of your kindness.

O Lord the Provider! The trap of devil is unbreakable and the desires and the dreams are prevailing upon us. The extended necessities and wishes are deceitful. You are wakeful and all aware; bless us not to deviate from the path.

O Sovereign Lord! Grant us the status of those believers who are faithful upon their vows and dutifully obeying you.
