|His statement, may He be exalted, "And You alone we ask for help" means: We seek assistance only from You alone because all matters are in Your hands alone. No one possesses even the weight of an atom of control over them. The mention of "And You alone we ask for help" after the statement "You alone we worship" indicates that reliance should only be placed on the one deserving of worship, as no one else has control over the affairs. This meaning, which is indicated here, is clearly stated in other verses, such as His saying: "So worship Him and rely upon Him" [11:123], and His saying: "So if they turn away, say, 'Sufficient for me is Allah; there is no deity except Him. On Him I rely'" [9:129], and His saying: "Lord of the east and the west; there is no deity except Him, so take Him as Disposer of [your] affairs" [73:9], and His saying: He is the Most Merciful; we have believed in Him, and upon Him we rely'." [67:29] And there are other verses that convey a similar meaning
