Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(And faces humble themselves) faces are lowered in this worldly life through prostration; it is also said that this means: the faces are humbled and submitted on the Day of Judgement (before the Living) Who dies not, (the Eternal) Who has no beginning. (And he who beareth (a burden of) wrong-doing) idolatry (is indeed a failure (on that Day)) he loses on that Day.
