وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ ذُو ٱلرَّحْمَةِ ۚ إِن يَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْلِفْ مِنۢ بَعْدِكُم مَّا يَشَآءُ كَمَآ أَنشَأَكُم مِّن ذُرِّيَّةِ قَوْمٍ ءَاخَرِينَ ﴿133﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And your Lord is Rich (Free of all needs), full of Mercy; if He wills, He can destroy you, and in your place make whom He wills as your successors, as He raised you from the seed of other people.

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.
133. 1 He is the Self-Sufficient, Independent of His creations. He is not in need of them, nor does He require their worship; their faith does not benefit Him, nor does their disbelief harm Him. But along with this attribute of self-sufficiency, He is also Merciful to His creation. His independence does not prevent Him from showing mercy to His creation.
133. 2 This is an expression of His immense strength and unlimited power. Just as He wiped out many previous nations as if they never existed and raised up new nations in their place, He is still capable of destroying you whenever He wills and replacing you with a people unlike you. For further details, see Surah Nisa 133, Surah Ibrahim 20, Surah Fatir 15, 17, Surah Muhammad 38.
