➋ { مَا لَكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ عَاصِمٍ:} But there will be no one to save you from Allah, that is, from His punishment, as He said: «يَقُوْلُ الْاِنْسَانُ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ اَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ (10) كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ (11) اِلٰى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ » [ القیامۃ : ۱۰ تا ۱۲ ] "Man will say that day, 'Where is the place to escape?' Never! There is no place of refuge. That day, the final return is only to your Lord."
➌ { وَ مَنْ يُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ هَادٍ:} That is, I have given you the advice, but due to your stubbornness and hostility, if Allah has intended to leave you in misguidance, then whomever Allah leads astray, there is no one to guide him. See Surah Al-Baqarah (2:26, 27).
