It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

That is, on that day, neither anyone's dominion will remain nor will any ownership remain. Everything will return directly to the True Owner. He alone will be the absolute Owner and Controller of everything. And He alone will be the inheritor of everything. Those who claimed vast dominions and ownership will stand empty-handed before Allah on that day.
