    📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Anbiya – Verse 43

    "Have they some gods who protect them besides Us? They cannot protect [68] their own souls, and nor against Us may they have company with [69]."

    ✅ [68] False Gods Cannot Even Protect Themselves

    This verse refutes the idea of taking idols or false deities as protectors. Allah asks:
    “Do they have any gods besides Us who can protect them?”

    These so-called gods cannot even protect themselves, so how could they offer safety to their worshippers?

    Therefore, such worship is not just useless—it is actually harmful, as it leads to misguidance, delusion, and ultimate loss.

    ✅ [69] No Support Against Divine Power

    Unlike the believers who are promised divine help and support, the disbelievers will have no alliance or assistance against Allah.

    There will be:

    • No helper

    • No mediator

    • No escape

    This verse makes it clear that security and success come only through Allah, not through imaginary gods or worldly alliances.
