196. Surely, my Protector is Allah, who has revealed this Book, and He befriends [195] the righteous.
[195] When my Protector and Helper is Allah, Who has revealed this Quran, then what danger can there be for me from your deities? And in reality, this matter is not limited to me alone—Allah is the Protector of all His righteous servants. And is Allah’s protection any less, that He has revealed for us a blessed Book like the Quran, which guides us in every aspect of life?
