Transliteration:( Alai sal laahu bi-ahkamil haakimeen )
10. He most certainly is.
From it emerge two issues:
1. Allah Almighty has appointed some of His pious servants as rulers. The king of the country is outwardly a ruler while Prophets and Saints are rulers inwardly. Our Beloved Prophet Is the ruler of both the physical and celestial worlds as is being understood from the plural form of rulers.
2. Besides Allah Almighty none is Greatest of all rulers, because the Greatest Ruler is He whose rule should be from eternity and remain till eternity, whose kingdom should be over the entire creation, from whose sovereignty none can escape even after his death, in whose dominion no unjust decisions and rulings can ever take place, from whose rule no one can ever escape. These attributes are not found in any dominion besides that of Allah Almighty. is the Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم highest reflection of the sovereignty of Allah of Almighty.

The tafsir of Surah Tin verse 8 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Tin ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 8.
(95:8) Is not Allah the Greatest of all sovereigns?[7]
7. That is, when you want and expect even the petty judges of the world to do justice, punish the culprits and reward the doers of good, what is your opinion about God? Is He not the greatest of all judges? If you think He is the greatest of all judges, do you think that He will not do any justice? Do you expect that He will treat the good and the evil alike? Will those who commit the vilest of deeds in the world and those who perform righteous deeds, both end in the dust: neither will any be punished for his evil deeds, nor any be rewarded for his good works.
Imam Ahmad, Tirmidhi, Abu Daud, Ibn al-Mundhir, Baihaqi, Hakim and Ibn Marduyah have related, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: When one of you recites Surah Wat-teen waz-zaytun and reaches Alais-Allah-u bi-ahkam-il-Hakimin he should respond to it, saying: Bala wa ana ala dhalika min-ash-shahidin (Yes, and I am of those who bear witness to it). According to some other traditions, the Prophet (peace be upon him) responded with Subhanaka fa-bala when he recited this verse.
