Commentary
The reward of deeds is similar to the deeds. Since this man maintained one-sided behavior in the life of this world on the Day of Judgment his gait would lack equilibrium or balance, he would but walk like a lame person, whose one leg is shorter than the other. His tilt (in the world) does not denote the inclination of his heart. It rather signifies his outer behavior for instance, taking turns, subsistence, etc., because the domain of the heart belongs to Allâh. It is in the hands of Allâh. Man proves himself helpless in many a matter of the heart. Hence, one will not face any reproof over it.
