Points derived from the verse:

1. Any appeal for rescue to someone other than Allah regarding matters that only He can accomplish is invalid.
2. The polytheists admit to tawḥīd al-rubūbiyyah (Allah’s sole lordship), yet that acknowledgment alone did not enter them into Islam.
3. Tawḥīd al-ulūhiyyah (devoting all worship to Allah alone) is proven by the very tawḥīd al-rubūbiyyah that they concede.
4. One may refute the idolaters by using what they themselves acknowledge to disprove what they deny.
