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 كَفٰى بِرَبِّكَ هَادِيًا وَّ نَصِيْرًا:} In this, two glad tidings are given to the Prophet (peace be upon him): one is that among those who are now turning away, many will accept guidance, or those who come from their descendants will accept guidance, just as the angel of the mountains came by Allah’s command and offered the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) that if you wish, I will bring together the two mountains of Makkah upon them, so the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: [ بَلْ أَرْجُوْ أَنْ يُّخْرِجَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ أَصْلاَبِهِمْ مَنْ يَّعْبُدُ اللّٰهَ وَحْدَهُ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا ] [ بخاري، بدء الخلق، باب إذا قال أحدکم آمین … : ۳۲۳۱ ] “Rather, I hope that Allah will bring forth from their descendants people who will worship Allah alone and not associate anything with Him.” And the second glad tiding is of divine help. In {’’ وَ كَفٰى بِرَبِّكَ هَادِيًا وَّ نَصِيْرًا ‘‘} there is also an indication that entrust all your affairs to Him, because He alone is sufficient for guidance and help. (Ibn Ashur)

[41] That is, the purpose of the Prophet’s sending is that people obey the Messenger. Now, those who are already established as leaders, how can they tolerate that those who were previously their followers and obedient ones, leave them or begin to obey someone else along with them? In other words, the well-off people of society or those who, in one way or another, have influence and dominance over the masses, consider this Prophet as their rival and rise up in opposition to him. The Quran, at some places, has mentioned such criminals with the word "mutrafeen" and at other places with the word "mala’." And since the number of such people is considerable, the Prophet’s call is, in fact, akin to disturbing a hornet’s nest. The battle between truth and falsehood begins right at the start of the call, and these bloodthirsty dogs of the world stand up, chest out, in opposition to the Prophet.
[42] That is, in this battle between truth and falsehood, as circumstances take different turns, Allah Himself continues to give guidance to His Prophet and his followers about what they should do now and what the next step should be. Then He does not suffice with only guidance and commands, but also helps the believers against the powerful group of disbelievers, and He helps in such ways that the Muslims could not have even imagined beforehand. Because all apparent and hidden means are within Allah’s power. He creates such circumstances that are beneficial for the Muslims and crush the disbelievers. In other words, just as Allah has informed that enemies of the Prophet have always arisen, He has also given the news that Allah does not hand over His Prophet and the believing Muslims to their enemies, but rather gives them timely guidance and then also helps them.
