38. Surely Allah defends those who believe. Indeed, Allah does not like anyone who is treacherous and ungrateful [64].
[64] Allah Almighty becomes the supporter of the people of truth because the second party is treacherous, dishonest, and ungrateful. They are dishonest and treacherous in the sense that Allah entrusted them with the custodianship of the Ka'bah, yet they imposed a ban on the people of truth from entering the Ka'bah. They are ungrateful in the sense that all blessings were given to them by Allah, but instead of expressing gratitude to Allah, they devoted all their supplications and acts of worship to idols.
