سُوْرَةُ الْحَدِيْدِ
Surah Al-Hadid (57) — Ayah 15
فَٱلْيَوْمَ لَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنكُمْ فِدْيَةٌ وَلَا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ۚ مَأْوَىٰكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ ۖ هِىَ مَوْلَىٰكُمْ ۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ﴿15﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
So this Day no ransom shall be taken from you (hypocrites), nor of those who disbelieved, (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism). Your abode is the Fire. That is your maulâ (friend - proper place), and worst indeed is that destination.

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.
15. So today no ransom [27] will be accepted from you nor from those who disbelieved. Your abode is the Fire; it is your protector, and what an evil destination!

Whoever Does Not Take Allah as a Protector, His Protector is Hell:
This is probably the last part of the conversation between the believers and the hypocrites: The wealth and possessions for which you adopted the attitude of hypocrisy in the world—even if you were to obtain all that wealth and possessions today, they would be of no use to you. Even if you were to give all your wealth and riches, you could not save yourselves from the torment of Hell. Nor can we take you with us. Incidentally, two other points are understood from this verse. One is that, in terms of the worst outcome, there is no difference between a hypocrite and a disbeliever. Hypocrites are, in reality, disbelievers as well. And the second is that whoever does not take Allah as a protector, Hell itself becomes his protector.
