Intro
In 1906-1907, MGA and his team of writers alleged that the Quranic verse 39:53 (39:54 in the Kadiani Koran) as a metaphor (See Haqiqatul Wahi, online English edition, pages 80-81) and it’s referring to Prophet (ﷺ) instead of Allāh (ﷻ)!
Further, according to MGA, taking this Ayah literally is Shirk as it “metaphorically” describes ppl as (servants of Muhammad ﷺ). MGA likened his description of ppl as (servants of Muhammad ﷺ) in this Ayah to the description of the Prophets ﷺ as (sons of God) in the previous Books.
In 1917, Maulvi Muhammad Ali ignored MGA’s commentary and wrote his own on this verse.
In 1988 and other iterations of the Official 5-volume commentary of the Quran by Malik Ghulam Farid, it seems that MGA’s opinions are not taken at all.

In 1988 and other iterations of the Official 5-volume commentary of the Quran by Malik Ghulam Farid, it is stated that
The present is one of the most beautiful verses of the Quran. It holds out a message of hope and good cheer to those who have wronged their souls. It encourages optimism and kills despair and despondency. It denounces and condemns pessimism because pessimism lies at the root of most sins and failures in life. Again and again the Quran gives a promise of Divine mercy and forgiveness. “Despair not of the mercy of Allah,” it says, “for none despair of Allah’s mercy save the disbelieving people” (12:88). Again it says: “And who can despair of the mercy of his Lord save those who go astray” (15:57). There could be no greater message of solace and comfort for the grieved and the heavy-laden than this. The God of Islam is “Most Forgiving, full of mercy” (18:59). “He has taken it upon Himself to show mercy” (6:55). “His mercy encompasses all things” (7:157). Such is the God of Islam. He can and does forgive the sins of His servants and does not need the vicarious sacrifice of anyone for this purpose. He only requires a change of heart on the part of the sinner. According to Islam, the sinner is never beyond redemption. The Holy Prophet has beautifully explained this verse in one of his sayings, viz. من قال ھلک الناس فھو أھلکھم i.e. “He who says that the people have gone to ruin, it is he who, in fact, leads them to ruin” (Muslim).
