Ally of the Mindful
إِنَّهُمۡ لَن يُغۡنُواْ عَنكَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيۡـࣰٔاۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءُ بَعۡضࣲۖ وَٱللَّهُ وَلِيُّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ ١٩
Lo! they can avail thee naught against Allah. And lo! as for the wrong-doers, some of them are friends of others; and Allah is the Friend of those who ward off (evil).
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
The wrongdoers are allies of one another, but Allah is the ally of the mindful.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, if you follow them, they can in no way save you from punishment coming from Allah.
Reflect
Build your friendships with the friends of Allah.
