Commentary
Indeed, my protector is Allah, meaning: my supporter and the one who manages all my affairs. Allah, meaning: the one who encompasses the attributes of perfection, the one who revealed, meaning: gradually, taking care of the separation of events. The Book, meaning: the one that encompasses the knowledge of the former and the latter, the affairs of this life and the Hereafter, the conditions of the two abodes, and all that contains goodness for the states of hearts and others, which you all failed to oppose, along with those whom you claimed partnership with.
And when this revelation took care of all attributes, which include complete life necessitating will, ability, knowledge, hearing, sight, and speech, and their inability to oppose the Book is a clear evidence against their lies, He followed that with another clear evidence through action, saying: And He alone takes care of the righteous, meaning: all of them, by supporting them against every adversary and sufficing them for every important matter. And you have known what He has presented in this Surah regarding the events of those who denied His prophets and mocked His messengers, and that He saved everyone who supported Him and destroyed all who opposed Him, just as those who counted them as deities.
And He, along with what comes after and what came before, is turning to His saying: 'Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other than Him as allies' [Al-A'raf: 3], with explanation, which indicates that He is the one who did what has preceded for the sake of His allies, evidenced by the fact that He incapacitated them from opposing anything from His Book and from reaching all that they desire from His allies and beloved ones.
