Opening the ayah…
ثُمَّ رُدُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَوْلَىٰهُمُ ٱلْحَقِّ ۚ أَلَا لَهُ ٱلْحُكْمُ وَهُوَ أَسْرَعُ ٱلْحَٰسِبِينَ
Thumma ruddū 'ilā-llahi maw'lāhumu l-ḥaqqi . 'alā lahu l-ḥuk'mu wahuwa 'as'raʻu l-ḥāssibīna
Then are men returned unto Allah, their protector, the (only) reality: Is not His the command? and He is the swiftest in taking account.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Fact: The name Al-Mawla means the Protector, the Master.
