alone. They will understand one important fact them-
selves: other than Allah, man has neither a friend nor a

protector. In hell, their mentors and anybody they con-

promise but broke my promise. I had no authority over
you, except that I called you and you responded to me.
Do not, therefore, blame me but blame yourselves. I can-
not come to your aid nor you to mine. I reject the way
you associated me with Allah before." The wrongdoers
will have a painful punishment. (Surah Ibrahim: 22)

as friends will be another source of regret for unbelievers.

Then do they clearly understand that there is no one they
