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 لَا يُغْنِيْ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَسَبُوْا شَيْـًٔا:} means neither their wealth will benefit them, nor their children (see Aal-e-Imran: 10), nor their good deeds, because if they did any good deeds in the world, they did them only with worldly intentions, so they will not benefit in the Hereafter, rather they will be wasted. See also Surah Furqan (23) and Surah Kahf (103 to 106).
➌ { وَ لَا مَا اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَوْلِيَآءَ …:} means those patrons and helpers whom they used to call upon in the hope of being saved from punishment and used to worship them, they will not benefit them in any way. Associating partners with Allah is a great injustice, as He said: «اِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيْمٌ » [ لقمان : ۱۳ ] "Indeed, shirk is certainly a great injustice." Accordingly, a great punishment has been announced for them.

The Literal Meaning of ﴿وراء﴾:
The meaning of ﴿ورآء﴾ is both ahead and behind, here and there. In this sense, it has two meanings. One is that such people will have a humiliating punishment in this world, and after that, the punishment of Hell is also prepared for them. The second meaning is that they do not even know that after this humiliating punishment, Hell is also pursuing them from behind.
[12] That is, neither wealth and property will benefit, nor offspring, nor their good deeds. Because even if they performed some good deeds in the world, they will be wasted and will not benefit them at all. The reason is that they did not perform those deeds with the intention that they would benefit them in the Hereafter; rather, they did not even believe in the Hereafter.

Types of Protectors:
These awliya (protectors) are also of two types. One type is those personalities upon whose intercession people rely and, without hesitation, continue to commit sinful acts, thinking that since they have pledged allegiance to such-and-such person, he will intercede for them and save them from Allah's grasp and punishment. The second type is those chieftain-like people, rulers, or political leaders whose commands are obeyed in opposition to Allah's commands because the worldly interests of the followers are attached to them. None of these protectors will be of any help there.
