The noun miqmaah - of which maqami is the plural - is derived from the verb qamaa, signifying "he curbed" or "restrained" or "held in subjection" (Lisan al-Arab). Hence, the "iron grips" mentioned in the above verse denote the inescapability of the suffering in the hereafter to which "they who are bent on denying the truth" condemn themselves.] |
