Other Protectors

Is not sincere faith owed to Allah alone? Yet some take guardians besides Him, saying, "We worship them only to draw closer to Allah." But Allah will judge between them regarding their differences.

39:3Surely pure religion is for Allah only. And those who choose protecting friends beside Him (say): We worship them only that they may bring us near unto Allah. Lo! Allah will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ. Lo! Allah guideth not him who is a liar, an ingrate.

Whoever Allah guides is truly guided, but whoever He leaves to stray will find no protector besides Him. On the Day of Judgment, We will gather them, dragging them on their faces, blind, dumb, and deaf. Their home is Hell, and its flames will grow fiercer.

17:97And he whom Allah guideth, he is led aright; while, as for him whom He sendeth astray, for them thou wilt find no protecting friends beside Him, and We shall assemble them on the Day of Resurrection on their faces, blind, dumb and deaf; their habitation will be hell; whenever it abateth, We increase the flame for them.

"The Day you will turn away in retreat, with no protector against Allah.

40:33A day when ye will turn to flee, having no preserver from Allah: and he whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide.
