The Literal Meaning of ﴿نصب﴾:
﴿نُصُبٍ﴾ ﴿نصب الشئي﴾ means to make something stand upright and to fix it firmly in the ground, and "naseeb" also refers to the stone that is planted as a signpost. Additionally, "naseeb" refers to the statue of stone or iron that is installed somewhere for the purpose of worship. These statues are usually of prophets, saints, spiritual leaders, or kings. The places where these statues are installed are also called "naseeb," "thaan," "asthaan," or "aastana," and the plural of "naseeb" is "nusub" or "ansab." Thus, "nusub" has three meanings: (1) signpost stones, (2) installed statues, (3) the place where statues or idols are installed. In this verse, all three meanings can be intended. The first meaning is in the sense that their running will be under Allah's command and a matter of compulsion, and the remaining two meanings are in the sense that in the world, they used to run swiftly towards such statues and shrines. On the Day of Resurrection, they will also be running swiftly in the same way, and Allah has described for them the very condition which they know well and were accustomed to in this world.
