[And] is there any, besides the Most Gracious, that could be a shield for you, and could succour you [against danger]? They who deny this truth are but lost in self- delusion!

Nay, who is there that can help you, (even as) an army, besides (God) Most Merciful? In nothing but delusion are the Unbelievers.

Or who is he that will be an army unto you to help you instead of the Beneficent? The disbelievers are in naught but illusion.

Do they not see the birds above them spreading and contracting (their wings)? Naught upholds them save the Beneficent. Surely He is Seer of all things.

Or who is it that could be an army for you to aid you other than the Most Merciful? The disbelievers are not but in delusion.
