وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّنْ أَوْلِيَآءَ يَنصُرُونَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن سَبِيلٍ ﴿46﴾

Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali

And they will have no Auliyâ’ (protectors, helpers, guardians, lords) to help them other than Allâh. And he whom Allâh sends astray, for him there is no way.

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf).

(Ayah 46) ➊ { وَ مَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ اَوْلِيَآءَ … :} In this verse, there is a refutation of the polytheists who hold the belief about their self-made benefactors and removers of difficulties that they are their supporters and helpers, that in times of hardship and distress they will come to their aid and save them from Allah’s punishment. With this hope, they worship them and call upon them, whereas this belief is utter misguidance, and whomever Allah leads astray, then for him there is no way.
➋ { وَ مَنْ يُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ سَبِيْلٍ:} And whomever Allah leads astray, then for him there is no way, neither to attain guidance in this world nor to attain salvation from punishment in the Hereafter.
