The Holy Quran 18:43 — Surah Al-Kahf

Arabic text

وَلَمْ تَكُن لَّهُۥ فِئَةٌ يَنصُرُونَهُۥ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ مُنتَصِرًا

Translation

He had no troops (no power, family or friends) to assist him against (the punishment of) Allaah, neither could he avenge (save) himself.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, neither his supporters were of any use, nor his children, nor the imaginary deities whom he had made partners in divinity; nor did he himself have enough strength to ward off the punishment of Allah or to take revenge.
