457

﴿46﴾ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاءَ يَنْصُرُونَهُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ سَبِيلٍ

46. And they will have no protectors to help them other than Allah. And he whom Allah sends astray, for him there is no way [of deliverance].

Exegesis:

The blessed Verse in question is saying that polytheists and disbelievers who invoked idols and other objects of worship to intercede on their behalf and assumed that they would be effective in warding off torment in their time of desperate need were in error unaware of the truth that there is no friend nor support to deliver them from torment and whoever failed to find the path to happiness through Divine Guidance will have no other way of deliverance.
