﴿يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِي مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًى شَيْئًا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ﴾
[ الدخان: 41]

44:41 The Day when no relation will avail a relation at all, nor will they be helped -

the day when a friend will not avail a friend on account of kinship or friendship that is to say the day when he will not be able to ward off from the other anything of the chastisement nor will they be helped — nor will they be protected from it yawma ‘the day’ is a substitution for yawma’l-fasl ‘the Day of Decision’

This is the Eventful Day when no master shall avail his subordinates nor can a subordinate avail his master but like master, like man, nor can anyone afford them help

This World was created for a Wisdom Here Allah tells us of His justice, and that He is far above mere play, folly and falsehood.
This is like the Ayah: وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَآءَ وَالاٌّرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَـطِلاً ذَلِكَ ظَنُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنَ النَّارِ ( And We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them without purpose! That is the consideration of those who disbelieve! Then woe to those who disbelieve from the Fire! ) ( 38:27 ) أَفَحَسِبْتُمْ أَنَّمَا خَلَقْنَـكُمْ عَبَثاً وَأَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْنَا لاَ تُرْجَعُونَ - فَتَعَـلَى اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ ( Did you think that We had created you in play, and that you would not be brought back to Us So Exalted be Allah, the True King: La ilaha illa Huwa, the Lord of the Supreme Throne! ) ( 23:115-116 ) Then Allah says: إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ مِيقَـتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ( Verily, the Day of Judgement is the time appointed for all of them ) This is the Day of Resurrection, when Allah will judge between all creatures, and He will punish the disbelievers and reward the believers. مِيقَـتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ( is the time appointed for all of them ) means, He will gather all of them, the first and the last of them. يَوْمَ لاَ يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًى شَيْئاً ( The Day when a near relative cannot avail a near relative in aught, ) means, no relative will be able to help another relative.
This is like the Ayah: فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى الصُّورِ فَلاَ أَنسَـبَ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَلاَ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ( Then, when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask of one another. ) ( 23:101 ) وَلاَ يَسْـَلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيماً يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ( And no friend will ask a friend (about his condition ).
Though they shall be made to see one another) ( 70:10-11 ) which means, he will not ask his brother about how he is, even though he can see him with his own eyes. وَلاَ هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ ( and no help can they receive, ) means, no relative will help another, and no help will come to him from outside. إِلاَّ مَن رَّحِمَ اللَّهُ ( Except him on whom Allah has mercy. ) means, and nothing will be of any avail that Day except the mercy of Allah towards His creation. إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ ( Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful. ) means, he is the Almighty, with immense mercy.

( A day when friend can in naught avail friend ) the day when no relative is of any benefit to his relative, and when no disbeliever is of any avail to another disbeliever, in relation to interceding to Allah or avoiding Allah’s punishment, ( nor can they be helped ) nor can they avert the torment which they will face,

The Day when Maulan (a near relative) cannot avail Maulan (a near relative) in aught, and no help can they receive,
