The Aya says:

And that is aAAD, they disdained the signs of their nurturing Lordm ad they disobeyed his messengers and followed the dictates of every closed minded tyrant

And that is often is mostly a tyrant for humans.  One of the names of Allah is JABBAR in the meaning of dominant power, fixing the broken and supporting the week but for Allah it cannot be understood as Tyrant because His other attributes of mercy, kind loving and caring and so on. Prevent that understanding of the term.

ʿanīdin:  closed minded/ stubborn/ contrarian
