Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
The Idolators Call On Allah Alone During Torment and DistressAllah states that He does what He wills with His creatures and none can resist His decision or avert what He decrees for them. He is the One Who has no partners, Who accepts the supplication from whomever He wills.
