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).

56. On that Day, the sovereignty will belong to Allah alone. He will judge between them [85]. So those who believed and did righteous deeds will be in gardens of bliss.
[85] That is, today every person—whether he is a believer, a disbeliever, a hypocrite, or a polytheist—thinks that he is upon the truth and that whatever he is doing is good. But on the Day of Resurrection, everyone will come to know as clearly as broad daylight that today, sovereignty belongs to Allah alone. All the deception regarding their deities or gods being helpers will be exposed, and Allah will establish testimonies and decide who was upon the truth and who was a liar, or to what extent a certain person was upon the truth and to what extent upon falsehood. Then, according to this decision, people will be recompensed. The people of truth will enjoy the blessings of Paradise, and those who denied the truth will taste a humiliating punishment.
