Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The State of Those Who are decreed to be among the DoomedAllah says: `In the case of those who are decreed to be among the doomed, when it comes to the matter of being guided, We have made them like a person who has a chain around his neck and whose hands are tied together beneath his chin so that his head is lifted up.' As Allah says:فَهُم مُّقْمَحُونَ(so that their heads are raised up.
