Exegesis of His saying, the Exalted: (Their eyes will be downcast as they come out of the graves as if they were scattered locusts)

His statement: (Their eyes will be downcast) means: that their eyes will be humble and submissive,As Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:
looking from [behind] a covert glanceيَنْظُرُونَ مِنْ طَرْفٍ خَفِيٍّ
[Surat al-Shura: 45] They are now arrogant, holding their heads high, thinking that people are beneath them and that they are above people, but a day will come when it will be the opposite.
Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading,خُشَّعاً أَبْصَارُهُمْ يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُنْتَشِرٌ
[Surat al-Qamar: 7] (The graves) are the tombs, and (as if they were scattered locusts) [refers to] locusts spread across the earth that do not know where they are heading; they have no established path by which they know how to end, but they are scattered. This is one of the most precise similes; for the scattered locust, you find it going right and left, not knowing where it is going. So they will come out of the graves in this manner, whereas in this world they have a leader, they have a commander, they have a guide who knows their path, even if it is a corrupt path.
