The verse names the faith communities known to its listeners. Ibn Kathir says Allah will judge between them with justice, for He is Witness over their deeds and knows what they say and hide.

Online, everyone has a verdict on who is saved and who is not, in a single comment. The verse quietly takes that job out of your hands. Your task is your own belief and conduct, which He also witnesses.

I need to settle who is right and who is wrong, today.

Allah will judge between everyone; I answer for what I believe and do.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Allah will judge between the Sects on the Day of Resurrection

Allah tells us about the followers of these various religions, the believers (Muslims) and others such as the Jews and Sabians. We have already seen a definition of them in Surat Al-Baqarah and have noted how people differ over who they are. There are also the Christians, Majus and others who worship others alongside Allah. Allah will

يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

(judge between them on the Day of Resurrection) with justice; He will admit those who believed in Him to Paradise and will send those who disbelieved in Him to Hell, for He is a Witness over their deeds, and He knows all that they say and all that they do in secret, and conceal in their breast.
