And warn, threaten, therewith, that is, [with] the Qur'n, those who fear they shall be gathered to their Lord; apart from Him, other than Him, they have no protector, to help them, and no intercessor, to intercede for them (the negative sentence stands as a circumstantial qualifier referring to the subject of [the verb] yuhshar, `they shall be gathered', and constitutes the object of [what they] fear) -- the sinning believers are meant here; so that they might be wary, of God, by desisting from what they engage in and performing deeds of obedience.

Tafseer Ibn Kathir

وَأَنذِرْ بِهِ الَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ أَن يُحْشَرُواْ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ لَيْسَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِ وَلِيٌّ وَلَا شَفِيعٌ


And warn therewith those who fear that they will be gathered before their Lord, when there will be neither a protector nor an intercessor for them besides Him,

means, warn with this Qur'an, O Muhammad,

الَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ خَشْيةِ رَبِّهِمْ مُّشْفِقُونَ

Those who live in awe for fear of their Lord, (23;57)

who,

يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُموَيَخَافُونَ سُوءَ الحِسَابِ

Fear their Lord, and dread the terrible reckoning. (13;21)

وَأَنذِرْ بِهِ الَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ أَن يُحْشَرُواْ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ
(those who fear that they will be gathered before their Lord), on the Day of Resurrection,
لَيْسَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِ وَلِيٌّ وَلَا شَفِيعٌ
(when there will be neither a protector nor an intercessor for them besides Him), for on that Day, they will have no relative or intercessor who can prevent His torment if He decides to punish them with it,
لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ
(so that they may have Taqwa).

Therefore, warn of the Day when there will be no judge except Allah,

لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ




so that they may have Taqwa.

and thus work good deeds in this life, so that their good deeds may save them on the Day of Resurrection from Allah's torment, and so that He will grant them multiple rewards.
