Allah addresses the idolators who worship others besides Him, seeking help
and sustenance from them. Allah rebukes them for what they believe, and He
informs them that they will not attain that which they hope for. Allah says,
[أَمَّنْ هَـذَا
الَّذِى هُوَ جُندٌ لَّكُمْ يَنصُرُكُمْ مِّن دُونِ الرَّحْمَـنِ]
(Who is it besides the Most Gracious that can be an army to you to help)
imeaning, there is no protector or helper for you besides Him. This is the
reason that Allah says,
[إِنِ الْكَـفِرُونَ
إِلاَّ فِى غُرُورٍ]
(The disbelievers are in nothing but delusion.) Then Allah says,
[أَمَّنْ هَـذَا
الَّذِى يَرْزُقُكُمْ إِنْ أَمْسَكَ رِزْقَهُ]
(Who is it that can provide for you if He should withhold His provision)
meaning, who is it that can provide for you if Allah cuts off your sustenance
There is no one who gives, withholds, creates, provides and helps other than
Allah alone, Who has no partner. This proves that they know this, yet they still
worship others besides Him. Thus, Allah says,
[بَل
لَّجُّواْ]
(Nay, but they continue) meaning, they persist in their transgression, lying
and misguidance.
[فِى عُتُوٍّ
وَنُفُورٍ]
(to be in pride, and flee.) meaning, they continue in obstinance, arrogance
and fleeing away from the truth. They do not listen to it nor do they follow
it.
