(Ayah 4) { اِنَّا اَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ … : ’’ سَلٰسِلَاْ ‘‘ ’’سِلْسِلَةٌ‘‘} is the plural of 'سِلْسِلَةٌ', meaning chains.. {’’ اَغْلٰلًا ‘‘ ’’غُلٌّ‘‘} is the plural of 'غُلٌّ', meaning collar.. After mentioning the beginning of man's creation and his guidance towards the right path, the end of those who deny guidance and the end of the righteous people is mentioned: We have prepared chains, collars, and a blazing fire for the disbelievers. The mention of shackles and chains for the disbelievers can be seen in Surah Haqqah (30 to 33) and Surah Mumin (69 to 72).

4. Surely, We have prepared for the disbelievers chains [6], shackles, and a blazing fire.

[6] The time of trial lasts for every human being until his death, or those who fail this test will have an extremely bitter life in the Hereafter, and the more freely and luxuriously they spend their lives in this world, the more they will be punished accordingly. They will be bound in chains and shackles, and iron collars will be placed around their necks, and they will be thrown into Hell.
