not.

Commentary
Taaa-‘ifun – (one who wanders around), it is “the subject” from the
word tawf. Tawf means “to wander around”. The devils wander
around the mankind every time and whenever they want, touch him, due to which;
he slips from the Straight Path.
Mubsiruun – (apprehend through the senses), it is “the subject” and
plural from mubsir. Origin of this word is ‘absaar, which
means “to behold, to see”. Here it aims “to see with internal eye i.e. to
understand”.
Yamudduun – (they drag, pull), origin of this word is maddun,
which means “to pull”. Yamudduun means “they pull them, that
is to say; they bring them toward straying.
Laa
yuq-siruun – (they do not cease, leave no stone unturned),
origin of this word is ‘aqsaar, which means “to fall short, to fail
to be lacking (in)”. This word has been derived from qasar, which
means “to shorten, to prevent, to fix on etc.”Laa yuq-siruun means
“they leave no stone unturned”.
Messenger of
Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) was directed in
the previous verse that He should be in patience and restraint against the
enemies. Outrage and anger are devilish temptation. He should seek refuge in
God Almighty from it. Here, the followers of the Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) have been guided that they should follow His
foot-steps.
It is
commanded that the people who obey the commands of Allah Almighty, upon them,
when Satan persuades, they become alert at once and remember that they have
been ordered to be saved from the Devil. As soon as they remember it, they
understand that they must seek refuge in God Almighty. Immediately, they turn
their attention to Him and beg: Our Lord! Bestow us power so that we may be
saved from the tricks of Satan because we are not able to save ourselves from
his attack, and You fulfill all necessities of everything. These are meanings
of Laa Hawla Wa Laa Quwwata ‘Illaa BIllaah, in simple English it
means “There is neither might nor power except with Allah”. The meaning of لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله has been explained by RasulUllaah (sallAllaahu
‘alayhi wa sallam) himself: “There is no might to avoid disobeying Allah
except by the protection of Allah and no strength to obey Allah except with the
help of Allah.” One can reflect on this explanation when reciting it.
This powerful statement is the
proclamation that: All power, might, strength, grandeur
and glory are by Allah, from Allah and belong to Allah.
The above mentioned words are very useful
when the devilish whims mislead to the human being. But those people who are
weak in Belief, they are deceived by Satan easily and he involves them in
labyrinth of straying, from where, it becomes difficult for them to come out
without guidance of any Aware. Therefore, it is necessary to obey the commands
of own advisers and well-wishers.
