Tafsir of Muhammad 47:11

وَأَنَّ الْكَافِرِ‌ينَ لَا مَوْلَىٰ لَهُمْ (As for the disbelievers, there is no supporter them. - 47:11). The word for |"mawla|" is used in several different senses. One of its meanings is |"protector|" or |"supporter|". This is the sense in which it is used here. Another sense of the word is |"owner/master|". In Qur'an [ 10:30] we come across: وَرُ‌دُّوا إِلَى اللَّـهِ مَوْلَاهُمُ الْحَقِّ |"They will be returned to Allah, their Master, the Truth|" (10:30). In this phrase, Allah is called the |"mawla|" of the infidels, that is, their Master / Owner because the mastership / ownership of Allah extends over all - the believers as well as the non-believers; without any exclusion.
