Ash-Shuraa 42:46

Word by word

وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّنْ أَوْلِيَآءَ يَنصُرُونَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن سَبِيلٍ

And there will not be for them any allies to aid them other than Allāh. And whoever Allāh sends astray - for him there is no way.

وما كان لهؤلاء الكافرين حين يعذبهم الله يوم القيامة من أعوان ونصراء ينصرونهم من عذاب الله. ومن يضلله الله بسبب كفره وظلمه، فما له من طريق يصل به إلى الحق في الدنيا، وإلى الجنة في الآخرة؛ لأنه قد سدَّت عليه طرق النجاة، فالهداية والإضلال بيده سبحانه وتعالى دون سواه.
