Quran 3:22 Tafsir Al-Jalalayn
Those are the ones whose works what good they did in the way of charity and kindness to kin have failed whose works are invalid in this world and the Hereafter and so they have nothing to reckon with since these works are of no consequence; they have no helpers no protectors from the chastisement.
Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
These are they whose deeds and moral actions shall come to be devoid of value here and Hereafter, and no one shall afford them help
Quran 3:22 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Verily, those who disbelieve in the Ayat of Allah and kill the Prophets without right, and kill those men who order just dealings, then announce to them a painful torment ( 21 )They are those whose works will be lost in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers ( 22 )
Chastising the Jews for Their Disbelief and for Killing the Prophets and Righteous People
This Ayah chastises the People of the Book for the transgression and prohibitions they committed by their denials in the past and more recent times, of Allah's Ayat and the Messengers.
They did this due to their defiance and rejection of the Messengers, denial of the truth and refusal to follow it.
They also killed many Prophets when they conveyed to them what Allah legislated for them, without cause or criminal behavior committed by these Prophets, for they only called them to the truth,
وَيَقْتُلُونَ الَّذِينَ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْقِسْطِ مِنَ النَّاسِ
( And kill those men who order just dealings ) thus, demonstrating the worst type of arrogance.
Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ said,
الْكِبْرُ بَطَرُ الْحَقِّ وَغَمْطُ النَّاسِ
( Kibr (arrogance ) is refusing the truth and degrading people)
This is why when they rejected the truth and acted arrogantly towards the creation, Allah punished them with humiliation and disgrace in this life, and humiliating torment in the Hereafter.
Allah said,
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
( then announce to them a painful torment ) meaning, painful and humiliating,
أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّاصِرِينَ
( They are those whose works will be lost in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers. ).
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(3:22) These are the people whose works have gone to waste in this world and in the World to Come. *20 They have none to help them. *21
They are the ones whose deeds have meaning
*20).
They have spent their efforts and energies in a manner leading to catastrophic results in this world and the Next.
*21).
No power can make these misdeeds either bear good fruit or prevent them bearing evil fruit.
The powers upon which the wrong-doers rely for support in this world and in the World to Come will not be of any help to them.
Tafsir Maarif-ul-Quran Mufti Muhammad Shafi
Verily, those who disbelieve in the Ayat of Allah and kill the Prophets without right, and kill those men who order just dealings, then announce to them a painful torment ( 21 )They are those whose works will be lost in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers ( 22 )

( They are those whose works will be lost in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers. ).
Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
They are those whose works will be lost in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers.
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
