40. And if they turn away, then know [42] that Allah is your Protector—what an excellent Protector and what an excellent Helper!
[42] That is, if these people still do not believe, then let them be. They will not be able to harm you in any way, just as Allah protected and helped you in the Battle of Badr. In the future as well, He will continue to do so against them. And who can be a better Protector and Helper than Allah?
