The Protector

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَوۡلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَأَنَّ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ لَا مَوۡلَىٰ لَهُمۡ ۝١١

That is because Allah is patron of those who believe, and because the disbelievers have no patron.

Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall

Meaning

Allah is the protector of those who believe, and the disbelievers have no protector.

Insight

According to Elmalılı, Allah is the helper and guardian of the believers; the disbelievers have no helper to ward off His punishment.

Reflect

Take refuge in Allah today, saying “You are my Protector”.
