﴿ قُلْ مَن يَكْلَؤُكُم بِٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ مِنَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ۗ بَلْ هُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ ﴾

“Say: “Who could protect you, by night or by day, from the Most Gracious?” And yet, from a remembrance of their Sustainer do they stubbornly turn away!”

(Say) O Muhammad to the people of Mecca: (Who guardeth you) who protects you (in the night or in the day from the Beneficent) from the chastisement of the Beneficent? It is also said that this means: who protects you from the punishment of other than the Beneficent? (Nay, but they turn away from) but they disbelieve and discard the (the mention of their Lord) from the profession of Allah's divine Oneness and the Scripture of their Lord,
