إِنَّمَا سُلْطَـٰنُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَوَلَّوْنَهُۥ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِهِۦ مُشْرِكُونَ
Innam a sul ta nuhu AAal a alla th eena yatawallawnahu wa a lla th eena hum bihi mushrikoon a
he has power only over those who are willing to follow him,123 and who [thus] ascribe to him a share in God's divinity.124
  - Mohammad Asad

Or: "who make him their master". Cf. in this connection {14: 22} and the corresponding note [31].

I.e., inasmuch as they pay an almost worshipful reverence to such blandishments as wealth, power, social position, etc.

His authority is only over those who befriend him and commit shirk by his temptation.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
His authority is only over those who take him as a patron and who- under his influence- associate 'others' with Allah 'in worship'.
  - Mustafa Khattab
His power is only over those who make a friend of him, and those who ascribe partners unto Him (Allah).
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
His authority is over those only who take him as patron and who join partners with Allah.
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
