Is One Who Walks Fallen on Their Face Better Guided or One Who Walks Upright on a Straight Path

Verse: "Is one who walks fallen on their face better guided, or one who walks upright on a straight path?" (67:22) — A stunning visual parable: one walking face-down — confused, unable to see the path, stumbling — versus one walking upright on a straight path. This is the difference between following guidance and following desire. "Mukibban" = pushed forward with face toward the ground — a person walking with their face covering their way — the image of misguidance. No vision, no balance, no direction. Lesson: guidance is uprightness and insight — misguidance is stumbling without vision.
