29-1. That is, they have no awareness of the fact that they are devoid of knowledge and victims of misguidance, and due to this ignorance and misguidance, they do not possess the ability to use their intellect and are followers of their base desires and corrupt opinions.

29-2. Because guidance from Allah is granted only to the one who possesses the desire and longing for guidance; those who are deprived of this sincere longing are left to wander in misguidance.

29-3. That is, these misguided ones have no helper who can grant them guidance or avert punishment from them.
