Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(37:65) Its spathes are like the heads of satans. *36
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*36) Nobody should have the misunderstanding that since no one has seen the head of Satan, it was no use likening the buds of zaqqum to it. This is, in fact, an imaginative kind of the simile, and is employed in the literature of every language. For example, in order to give an idea of the rare beauty of a woman, it is said she is a fairy, and in order to describe her ugliness, it is said that she is a hag or a demon. Likewise, a pious-looking person is described as an angel and a dreadful-looking person as a devil.
