That is only Satan who frightens [you] of his supporters. So fear them not, but fear Me, if you are [indeed] believers.

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

It is only Satan frightening you with his helpers and supporters. Do not fear them, because they have no power or strength; but fear Allah alone, by always doing as He instructs, if you truly have faith in Him.
