Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
➋ { وَ مَا لِلظّٰلِمِيْنَ مِنْ نَّصِيْرٍ :} According to the sequence of the phrase, these words would have sufficed: {’’وَمَا لَهُمْ مِنْ نَّصِيْرٍ‘‘} meaning, they have no helper; instead, it is said: {’’ وَ مَا لِلظّٰلِمِيْنَ مِنْ نَّصِيْرٍ ‘‘} meaning, the wrongdoers have no helper, that is, the reason for their deprivation from Allah’s help is their wrongdoing (shirk), that they gave Allah’s right to His servants. These fools think that their self-made deities, fulfillers of needs, and removers of difficulties will help them in this world and the Hereafter, whereas no one will help them, because these wrongdoers have angered Allah by associating partners with Him, so He will not come to their aid, and the other deities, fulfillers of needs, and removers of difficulties do not have the power to help them.

There is No Scholarly Evidence for Delegating Powers to Others Besides Allah:
That is, nowhere in any book revealed by Allah Almighty is it mentioned that He has delegated such and such powers to such and such beings. and that, as a result, in these matters you may turn to them and seek your needs from them. Nor have they learned from any scholarly research that anyone besides Allah has the right to exercise authority over the affairs of the universe, and on this basis, it is permissible to worship them as well. Thus, the deities that people have made and attributed various attributes and powers to, at whose shrines prayers are made, vows and offerings are presented, and even circumambulation and retreat are performed for some—these are nothing but ignorant superstitions.
[100] That is, Allah will not help them because these wrongdoers have made partners with Allah and angered Him, and their deities will not be able to help them because they do not have such power. Then, what doubt can there be about the wrongdoing and foolishness of such people?
