Transliteration:( Wa in tawallaw fa'lamooo annal laaha mawlaakum; ni'mal mawlaa wa ni'man naseer (End Juz 9) )
"But if they turn away, then know that Allah is your Guardian; what an excellent Guardian and what an excellent Helper [81] (He is)."
This verse offers reassurance: if the disbelievers persist in rejecting the truth, know that Allah is your true Guardian and Helper. With His support and protection, the believers are never truly alone.
The aid of Prophets and saints is also considered part of Allah’s help, as they act through His permission and power. Hence, with divine support, there is no need to fear human rejection—Allah’s guardianship is supreme and His help unmatched.
