The Holy Quran 9:116 — Surah At-Tawbah

Arabic text

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۚ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ

Translation

To Allaah belongs the kingdoms of the heavens and the earth (and He therefore has the right to do as He pleases). He gives life (as well as guidance) and causes death. You have no Protecting Friend, nor any ally besides Allaah (so turn to Him only).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

since the kingdom is His, His command alone should prevail. Whatever commands He enforces, with His all-encompassing knowledge and perfect power, it is the task of His servants to carry them out without fear or hesitation, and not to let regard or favour for anyone interfere, for no one besides Allah will be of any avail.
