Sorry, this is incorrect.
The correct answer is : “When they are told, ‘Bow down’, they do not bow down”
Ref: Surah Al-Mursalat 77:48
Arabic:
وَإِذَا قِيْلَ لَهُمُ ارْكَعُوْا لَا يَرْكَعُوْنَ
Translation:
When it is said to them, “Bow down ˹before Allah,” they do not bow.
Tafseer / Explanation:
-
Refusal of Submission: The verse highlights the extreme stubbornness and arrogance of the disbelievers who refused to humble themselves before Allah.
-
Rejection of Prayer: When they were commanded to perform Ruku (bowing) or engage in prayer, they deliberately chose to disobey.
-
Arrogance over Logic: Their refusal was not due to a lack of evidence, but a result of pride and a desire to follow their own whims instead of divine guidance.
-
Condemnation of Attitude: It serves as a stern rebuke for those who hear the call to worship yet remain unmoved and indifferent to their Creator.
-
Sign of Ruin: This lack of humility is presented as a primary reason for their ultimate failure and the "Woe" mentioned in the following verse.
