أَمَّنْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى هُوَ جُندٌۭ لَّكُمْ يَنصُرُكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ۚ إِنِ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ إِلَّا فِى غُرُورٍ
Or who is it that could be an army for you to aid you other than the Most Merciful? The disbelievers are not but in delusion.

Or who am-man the subject is it hādhā its predicate that alladhī a substitution for hādhā ‘is it’ will be an army supporters for you lakum belongs to the relative clause of alladhī ‘that’ to help you yansurukum is an adjectival qualification of jundun ‘an army’ besides the Compassionate One? that is to say other than Him who is there that will be able to avert His chastisement from you in other words you have no helper. The disbelievers are in nothing but delusion Satan has deluded them into believing that the chastisement will not befall them.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Or who is he that will be an army unto you to help you instead of the Beneficent) who helps you to avoid the chastisement of the Beneficent? (The disbelievers are in naught but illusion) they are in nothing but the falsehoods and illusion of the life of the world.
