Surah Al-Ma'arij — Ayah 43 (70:43)
يَوۡمَ يَخۡرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ سِرَاعٗا كَأَنَّهُمۡ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٖ يُوفِضُونَ ٤٣
English translation (Saheeh International)
The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.1
- - i.e., just as they used to race, whenever an idol was newly appointed, to be the first of its worshippers.
Brief commentary
On the day when they shall leave their graves in a hurry, as if they are racing towards a banner.
