سُوْرَةُ الْحَجِّ
Surah Al-Hajj (22) — Ayah 56
ٱلْمُلْكُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ﴿56﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
The sovereignty on that Day will be that of Allâh (the One Who has no partners). He will judge between them. So those who believed (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) and did righteous good deeds will be in Gardens of delight (Paradise).

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
56. 1. That is, in the world, temporarily, as a reward or as a test, people are also given kingdoms and authority, but in the Hereafter, no one will have any kingdom or authority. Only Allah will have sovereignty and His rule; only He will have complete authority and dominance (اَلْمُلْكُ يَوْمَىِٕذِۨ الْحَقُّ للرَّحْمٰنِ ۭ وَكَانَ يَوْمًا عَلَي الْكٰفِرِيْنَ عَسِيْرًا) 25. Al-Furqan:26) 'Sovereignty on that Day will belong to the Most Merciful, and it will be a hard day for the disbelievers. Allah will ask, "To whom does the kingdom belong today?" Then He Himself will answer, "To Allah, the One, the Dominant."'
