هلك عني سلطانيه (69:29) بالانجليزي

(69:29) and my authority has vanished.' *19

Tafseer Abu-al-A'la Maududi

Page 567 English Traditional

*19) The word sultan of the Text is used both for an argument and for power and authority. If it is taken in the sense of an argument, the meaning would be: "The arguments that I used to give would not work here: here, I have no argument which 1 can present in self-defence." And if it is taken in the sense of power, it would imply: "The power of which I was so proud in the world is no more: I have no army here and there is none to obey me: 1 stand as a miserable, helpless creature, who can do nothing to defend himself."
