سُوْرَةُ الْاَحْقَافِ
Surah Al-Ahqaf (46) — Ayah 32
وَمَن لَّا يُجِبْ دَاعِىَ ٱللَّهِ فَلَيْسَ بِمُعْجِزٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُۥ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءُ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿32﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And whosoever does not respond to Allâh’s Caller, he cannot escape on earth, and there will be no Auliyâ’ (lords, helpers, supporters, protectors) for him besides Allâh (from Allâh’s punishment). Those are in manifest error.

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.
(Ayah 32) ➊ {وَ مَنْ لَّا يُجِبْ دَاعِيَ اللّٰهِ … :} After the glad tidings, this is a warning, in which those who do not believe in this Book are warned. This is the same thing that has been mentioned in Surah Jinn with these words: « وَ اَنَّا ظَنَنَّاۤ اَنْ لَّنْ نُّعْجِزَ اللّٰهَ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَ لَنْ نُّعْجِزَهٗ هَرَبًا » [ الجن : ۱۲ ] "And that we have certainly believed that we can never cause failure to Allah upon the earth, nor can we escape Him by flight."
➋ { وَ لَيْسَ لَهٗ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اَوْلِيَآءُ:} That is, whoever does not accept Allah's invitation can neither escape Allah's grasp in this world or the Hereafter, nor can any kind of helpers come to his aid.
➋ { وَ لَيْسَ لَهٗ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اَوْلِيَآءُ:} That is, whoever does not accept Allah's invitation can neither escape Allah's grasp in this world or the Hereafter, nor can any kind of helpers come to his aid.
