Transliteration:( Halaka 'annee sultaaniyah )
"My authority has been stripped [34]."
In this verse, the disbeliever laments that their authority and power have been stripped from them. Despite their pride and control in the worldly life, on the Day of Judgement, all their authority will be rendered meaningless. This reflects the futility of worldly power and status, which will ultimately be irrelevant in the face of divine justice.
In contrast, the believer's proofs will be stronger and undeniable. The faith and words of the believer, though ridiculed and opposed in this world, will be vindicated in the Hereafter. Everything they believed and spoke will be proven true, and they will witness the reward of their faith in Paradise. This highlights the permanence of the believer's actions and the temporary nature of the disbeliever's worldly authority.

Please refer to Surah Haqqah ayat 25 which provides the complete commentary from verse 25 through 37.
(69:29) and my authority has vanished.”[19]
19. The word sultan of the text is used both for an argument and for power and authority. If it is taken in the sense of an argument, the meaning would be: The arguments that I used to give would not work here. Here, I have no argument which I can present in self-defense. And if it is taken in the sense of power, it would imply: The power of which I was so proud in the world is no more. I have no army here and there is none to obey me. I stand as a miserable helpless creature, who can do nothing to defend himself.
[1744]- i.e., I have no valid excuse to stand on.
