Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the meaning of the statement[Ya-Sin 36:8] and what is the soundness of the claim that this occurs in this world, not in the Hereafter?
Answer:
This is a parable struck by Allah for the one who turns away from the Qur'an, for the one who turns away from the Qur'an and following the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). It is like the one who has a shackle around his neck and cannot look at what is in front of him or what is behind him, so he walks without sight. Yes.

Indeed, We have put shackles on their necks, and they are to their chins, so they are with heads [kept] aloft.
