Surah Hud (11) — Ayah 16
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ إِلَّا ٱلنَّارُ ۖ وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُوا۟ فِيهَا وَبَـٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿16﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
They are those for whom there is nothing in the Hereafter but Fire, and vain are the deeds they did therein. And of no effect is that which they used to do.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
16. 1. Regarding these two verses, some believe that they mention the people of ostentation, some think that it refers to the Jews and Christians, and others believe it is about those who seek the world. Because worldly people also perform some good deeds, Allah gives them their reward in this world, but in the Hereafter, there will be nothing for them except punishment. The same subject is mentioned in the Holy Quran in Surah Bani Isra'il, verses 18, 21 (مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيْدُ الْعَاجِلَةَ عَجَّــلْنَا لَهٗ فِيْهَا مَا نَشَاۗءُ لِمَنْ نُّرِيْدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا لَهٗ جَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَصْلٰىهَا مَذْمُوْمًا مَّدْحُوْرًا 18 وَمَنْ اَرَادَ الْاٰخِرَةَ وَسَعٰى لَهَا سَعْيَهَا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَاُولٰۗىِٕكَ كَانَ سَعْيُهُمْ مَّشْكُوْرًا 19 كُلًّا نُّمِدُّ هٰٓؤُلَاۗءِ وَهٰٓؤُلَاۗءِ مِنْ عَطَاۗءِ رَبِّكَ ۭ وَمَا كَانَ عَطَاۗءُ رَبِّكَ مَحْظُوْرًا 20 اُنْظُرْ كَيْفَ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلٰي بَعْضٍ ۭ وَلَلْاٰخِرَةُ اَكْبَرُ دَرَجٰتٍ وَّاَكْبَرُ تَفْضِيْلًا 21) (17:18 to 21), and Surah Ash-Shura, verse 20 (مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيْدُ حَرْثَ الْاٰخِرَةِ نَزِدْ لَهٗ فِيْ حَرْثِهٖ ۚ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُرِيْدُ حَرْثَ الدُّنْيَا نُؤْتِهٖ مِنْهَا وَمَا لَهٗ فِي الْاٰخِرَةِ مِنْ نَّصِيْبٍ 20) (42:20).
