[23]. This concludes the downfall of the arrogant man with stark simplicity:
All his wealth, followers, and influence vanished, leaving him alone and powerless before Allāh.
The phrase “no one to help him” shows that worldly allies — family, friends, or status — are meaningless when divine judgment comes.
“Nor could he help himself” completes the picture: even self-reliance collapses when one stands without faith.
The message is clear: Human power is fragile; divine power is absolute.
Wealth and support cannot rescue anyone from the decree of Allāh, but faith, humility, and remembrance can protect the soul even when everything else perishes.
