Allah the Exalted states that the criminals are misguided away from the truth
and engulfed in confusion, because of the doubts and uncertainty they are in.
This description befits every disbeliever and innovator of all types and forms
of sects. Allah the Exalted said,
[يَوْمَ يُسْحَبُونَ
فِى النَّارِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ]
(The Day they will be dragged on their faces into the Fire), meaning, just as
they were consumed in doubt, suspicion and hesitation, they ended up in the
Fire. And just as they were misguided, they will end up being dragged on their
faces, unaware of where they will be taken. They will be admonished and
criticized,
[ذُوقُواْ مَسَّ
سَقَرَ]
("Taste you the touch of Hell!'')
