<p>وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ارْ‌كَعُوا لَا يَرْ‌كَعُونَ (And when it is said to them, "Bow down", they do not bow down...77:48) According to most commentators, the word ruku' is used here in its primitive sense 'to bow down and submit'. The verse signifies that when they were told to submit to the Divine commands, they refused to comply.
