وَفِي النَّاسِ مَنْ يَعْبُدُ غَيْرَهُ، فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ إِلَهُهُمْ وَمَعْبُودُهُمْ، وَأَنَّهُ الَّذِي يَجِبُ أَنْ يُسْتَعَاذَ بِهِ وَيُلْجَأَ إليه، دون الملوك والعظماء.

And there are some amongst the people who worship others therefore he mentioned that indeed, He is their God and worthy of their worship, and it is He to seek refuge in and to beg Him instead of turning to kings and dignitaries.

Tafsir Rooh al-Bayaan                                                                                              تفسیر روح البیان

واله الناس لبيان حال البقاء بالله لان الا له هو المعبود المطلق وذلك هو الذات مع جميع الصفات فلما فنى العبد فى الله ظهر كونه ملكا ثم رده الله الى الوجود لمقام العبودية

And “God of all mankind” is to state that the existence is only through Allah, for Allah is the absolute worthy of worship, and it is the Divine Being which encompasses all attributes, so when the servant loses himself in Allah he realizes His Mastery then Allah reinstates him to existence on the station of devotion.

Tafsir Rooh al-Bayaan of Imam Isma’eel Haqqi ibn Mustafa al-Istanbuli Hanafi t D. 1127 A.H.

أيدركني صنم وأنت ظهرى

أأظلم فى الدنيا وأنت نصيرى
