Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
That is because Allâh - He is the Truth (the only True God of all that exists, Who has no partners or rivals with Him), and what they (the polytheists) invoke besides Him, it is Bâtil (falsehood). And verily, Allâh - He is the Most High, the Most Great.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. 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.
62. This is because Allah alone is the Truth, and whatever they call upon besides Him is all falsehood, and Allah alone is the Most High [91], the Most Great.
[91] Then, the Being who has the power to exercise such control over the universe, and in comparison to Him, no one else has even the slightest share in this control—rather, all apparent and hidden causes and their outcomes are under Allah’s sole control—then the truth is that one should call upon Allah alone for one’s needs. Because He alone is the greatest power, the Mighty, and He alone is the Greatest, who has taken every single thing in the universe under His authority and control. And those who, leaving such an All-Powerful Allah, call upon others, they are wrongdoers and in error. Because others have no power or control at all.
