Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books An Enlightening Commentary into the Light of the Holy Qur'an vol. 3 Section 1: The Ultimate Triumph of the Unity of Allah Prophecy about the Vanishment of the disbelievers. Allah's help in the Battle of Badr -Unity, the basis of the faith in Allah - Islam, the only True Religion.

"Like the People of Pharaoh and those who were before them, they denied Our Signs, so Allah caught them for their sins; and Allah is severe in penalty." In this situation, those hearts that are deviated and are not on the straight path are referred to. The verse says: "Verily those who disbelieve ..." These are those who disbelieved in the verses of Allah and His Messengers; so: "...

neither their wealth nor their children shall avail them aught against Allah ..." Concerning the Qur'anic phrase /minallah/, Abu'ubaydah says that it means 'with Allah', while Al-Mubarrad says that the Arabic word /min/ (from) is used with its own meaning here, which is 'beginning'. Hence, the purpose of the whole phrase is that, from the beginning to the end, there will be no avail for them out of their wealth and their children.

Some others say that the phrase /minallah/ metaphorically means /min 'aŎabillah/ (from Allah's punishment), which has been rendered that: nothing will avail them to be away from the punishment of Allah [^1] "... and they themselves will be fuel for the (Hell) Fire." They themselves, i.e. their bodies, are the fuel of the fire. This very meaning is also mentioned in another verse, saying that they are 'fuel' for Hell.

[^2] There are different meanings cited upon the and the sense of the Arabic term /da'b /in the Qur'anic phrase /ka da 'bi 'ali fir'aun/ "like the people of Pharaoh", stated in the above mentioned second verse. They are as follows: The habit of these infidels in rejecting both you ( O' Muhammad ) and what has been revealed to you is like the habit of Pharaoh's men in rejecting prophets and what Allah had revealed to them.
