Translation

Say, "To Allah belongs [the right to allow] intercession entirely. To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Then to Him you will be returned."

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

Say - O Messenger, to these idolaters: All intercession belongs to Allah alone. No one can intercede before Him except with His permission and the intercession can only be for those whom He approves. The control of the heavens and the control of the earth belongs to Him alone. Then to Him alone you will return on the Day of Resurrection for reckoning and recompense, and He will give you the requital of your actions.
