The Jinn · Meccan · Juz 29 · Page 573

None Can Protect Me

قُلۡ إِنِّي لَن يُجِيرَنِي مِنَ ٱللَّهِ أَحَدࣱ وَلَنۡ أَجِدَ مِن دُونِهِۦ مُلۡتَحَدًا ۝٢٢

Say: Lo! none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge beside Him.

Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall

Meaning

Say: “None can protect me from Allah, nor will I find a refuge besides Him.”

Insight

According to Elmalılı, if I prayed to another and defied His command, Allah would punish me, and neither human, jinn nor angel could save me.

Reflect

Remember today that your only refuge is Allah.
