4537 There can be no greater ingratitude or blasphemy than to worship false gods, or to seek protection from things that
have no power, when Allah-Who has power over all things-is always seeking to protect and cherish His creatures, and
placing in their way all the means for attaining the best in them. (42.9)
42:28 - He is the One that sends down rain (even) after (men) have given up all hope and scatters
His Mercy (far and wide). And He is the Protector Worthy Of all Praise. 4567
4567 That men should get such a blessing as rain when they expect it according to ordinary calculations or probabilities
does not impress them, as it is a daily occurrence. But Allah's mercy is more than this. It comes to our aid even when
all hope is lost, and gives us new chances and new openings where we least expect them. His quality of cherishing
and protecting His creatures is always active, and what higher praise can we give? (42.28)
42:44 - For any whom Allah leaves astray there is no protector thereafter and thou wilt see the
wrongdoers when in sight of the Penalty Say: "Is there any way (to effect) a return? 4587
4587 When the actual consequences of evil are in sight, the foolish sinner wishes that it were possible to get back to the life
of probation. But he neglected or abused it and rejected Allah's Grace all the time. How can he then be restored to a
closed chapter of his life? (42.44)
42:46 - And no protectors have they to help them other than Allah:
44:41 - The Day when no protector can avail his client in aught and no help can they receive. 4719
4719 When that Day comes, the strictest justice will prevail. No man, however prominently he may have walked on the
world's stage, can help another. He himself will need help, not the sort of log-rolling help which high and low render to
each other in this life, but which in the conditions of reality will be of no avail. The only things which will help will be the
Mercy of Allah. (44.41)
47:11 - That is because Allah is the Protector of those who believe but those who reject Allah have
no protector.
86:4 - There is no soul but has a protector over it. 6069
6069 If man has a true spiritual understanding, he has nothing to be afraid of. He is protected by Allah in many ways that he
does not even know. He may be an insignificant creature as a mere animal, but his soul raises him to a dignity above
other creation. And all sorts of divine forces guard and protect him. (86.4)
7:30 - Some He hath guided: others have (by their choice) deserved the loss of their way: in that
they took the evil ones in preference to Allah for their friends and protectors and think that they
receive guidance. 1012
1012 Guidance is for all. But in some it takes effect: in others the doors are closed against it, because they have taken
Satan for their friend. If they have lost their way, they have richly deserved it; for they deliberately took their choice,
even though, in their self-righteousness, they may think that their sin is their virtue, and that their Evil is their Good.
(7.30)
8:40 - If they refuse be sure that Allah is your protector the best to protect and the best to help.
9:16 - Or think ye that ye Shall be abandoned as though Allah did not know those among you who
strive with might and main and take none for friends and protectors except Allah His apostle
and the (community of) believers? But Allah is well-acquainted with (all) that ye do. 1265
1265 We must all be tested and tried, but Allah knows our inmost hearts, and He will support those
who strive in His way, out of sincere love for Him, His Prophet, and the body of the true men of
faith. (9.16)
9:51 - Say: "Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us: He is our protector":
and on Allah let the believers put their trust.
18:50- Behold! We said to the angels "Bow down to Adam": they bowed down except Iblis. He was
one of the Jinns and he broke the Command of his Lord. Will ye then take him and his
progeny as protectors rather than Me? And they are enemies to you! Evil would be the
exchange for the wrongdoers! 2392239323942395
2392 Cf. ii. 34, where the story is told of the fall of mankind through Adam. Here the point is referred to in order to bring
home the individual responsibility of the erring soul. Iblis is your enemy; you have been told his history; will you prefer
to go to him rather than to the merciful Allah, your Creator and Cherisher? What a false exchange you would make!'
(18.50)
2393 Cf. vi. 100, n. 929. (18.50)
2394 Satan's progeny: we need not take the epithet only in a literal sense. All his followers are also his progeny. (18.50)
