The Day when they will come out of the graves quickly as racing to a goal,
English - Sahih International
The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.

Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*30) There is a difference of opinion among the commentators about the meaning of the word nusub. SAme have interpreted it to mean idols, according to which the meaning would be: "They would be racing towards the place appointed by the Lord of Resurrection as they race today towards the shrines of their idols" ; and some others have taken nusub to mean the goal signs which are set for the competitors in a race, so that each tries to reach and touch the appointed post before the other.
