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.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

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

Context · verses 19–22

Birds in the sky, and two ways of walking. Only the Most Merciful holds the birds aloft; no army or provider exists besides Him; and the one who walks fallen on his face is contrasted with the one who walks upright on a straight path. Read the explanation.

تفسير ابن كثير — Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr (Arabic)

يقول تعالى للمشركين الذين عبدوا غيره ، يبتغون عندهم نصرا ورزقا ، منكرا عليهم فيما اعتقدوه ، ومخبرا لهم أنه لا يحصل لهم ما أملوه ، فقال : ( أمن هذا الذي هو جند لكم ينصركم من دون الرحمن ) أي : ليس لكم من دونه من ولي ولا واق ، ولا ناصر لكم غيره ; ولهذا قال : ( إن الكافرون إلا في غرور )
