Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
No One will help You and No One can grant Sustenance except for AllahAllah addresses the idolators who worship others besides Him, seeking help and sustenance from them. Allah rebukes them for what they believe, and He informs them that they will not attain that which they hope for.
