Translation
To Him is your return all together. [It is] the promise of Allāh [which is] truth. Indeed, He begins the [process of] creation and then repeats it that He may reward those who have believed and done righteous deeds, in justice. But those who disbelieved will have a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment for what they used to deny.
Tafsir
To Him, exalted be He, is the return of all of you: God's promise, in truth (both [wa'da and haqqan] are verbal nouns, and in the accusative because of the verbs implicit in them). Truly He (read innahu as a new sentence, or annahu with an implied laam [sc. li-annahu, 'Because He'] originates creation, that is, He began it by originating [it], then recreates it, through resurrection, that He may requite, reward, those who believe and perform righteous deeds, justly. And those who disbelieve, for them will be a draught of boiling water and a painful chastisement because they disbelieved.
The Return of Everything is to Allah
Allah says;
إِلَيْهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ جَمِيعًا وَعْدَ اللّهِ حَقًّا إِنَّهُ يَبْدَأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ
To Him is the return of all of you. The promise of Allah is true. It is He Who begins the creation and then will repeat it,
Allah tells us that the return of the creatures on the Day of Resurrection is to Him. He will not leave anyone of them without bringing everyone into being as He brought them in the beginning. Then Allah states that He is going to bring all the creatures into being.
وَهُوَ الَّذِى يَبْدَأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ وَهُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِ
And He it is Who originates the creation, then He will repeat it (after it has perished); and this is easier for Him. (30:27)
لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ امَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّالِحَاتِ بِالْقِسْطِ
that He may reward with justice those who believed and did deeds of righteousness.
meaning, the reward will be with justice and complete recompense.
وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَهُمْ شَرَابٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ وَعَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْفُرُونَ
But those who disbelieved will have a drink of boiling fluids and painful torment because they used to disbelieve.
meaning, because of their disbelief they will be punished on the Day of Resurrection by different forms of torment, such as fierce hot winds, boiling water, and the shadow of black smoke.
هَـذَا فَلْيَذُوقُوهُ حَمِيمٌ وَغَسَّاقٌ
وَءَاخَرُ مِن شَكْلِهِ أَزْوَجٌ
This is so! Then let them taste it; a boiling fluid and dirty wound discharges. And other (torments) of similar kind all together! (38:57-58)
هَـذِهِ جَهَنَّمُ الَّتِى يُكَذِّبُ بِهَا الْمُجْرِمُونَ
يَطُوفُونَ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ حَمِيمٍ ءَانٍ
This is the Hell which the criminals denied. They will go between it (Hell) and the fierce boiling water! (55:43-44)
