Transliteration:( Qul innee laaa amliku lakum darranw wa laa rashada )
Say, "I do not possess for you any harm or benefit."
✅ Clear Warning to the Polytheists [34]
In this verse, Allah (اللَّهُ ) is commanding the Holy Prophet ﷺ to address the polytheists directly:
"You are involved in shirk (polytheism)."
The Prophet ﷺ is making it clear:
✅ “I do not have control over your loss or benefit.”
This shows the absolute Tawheed — that only Allah (اللَّهُ ) has full power over all harm and benefit.
It also refutes the false belief of idol-worshippers, who assumed that intercessors or prophets could bring them personal gain or protect them from harm without the will of Allah (اللَّهُ ).
