Translation
To every people (was sent) a messenger: when their messenger comes (before them), the matter will be judged between them with justice, and they will not be wronged.
Tafsir
And for every community, of the communities [of this world], there is a messenger. And when their messenger comes, to them, and they deny him, judgement is passed between them justly, fairly, such that they are punished and the messenger, and all those who accepted his truthfulness, are delivered; and they are not wronged, by being punished for no crime: similarly, We shall deal with these [disbelievers of your community].
"The Criminals will certainly be avenged -- whether in This World or in the Hereafter
Allah said to His Messenger:
وَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعۡضَ الَّذِي نَعِدُهُمۡ
Whether We show you some of what We promise them (the torment),
We shall avenge them in your lifetime so your eye will be delighted.
أَوۡ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيۡنَا مَرۡجِعُهُمۡ
Or We cause you to die -- still unto Us is their return,
ثُمَّ اللّهُ شَهِيدٌ عَلَى مَا يَفۡعَلُونَ
and moreover Allah is Witness over what they used to do.
Allah will then be the Witness watching over their actions for you.
Allah then said
وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولٌ فَإِذَا جَاء رَسُولُهُمۡ
And for every Ummah there is a Messenger; when their Messenger comes,
Mujahid said:
""This will be on the Day of Resurrection.""
قُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُم بِالۡقِسۡطِ
(the matter will be judged between them with justice,)
is similar to the Ayah:
وَأَشۡرَقَتِ الاٌّرۡضُ بِنُورِ رَبِّهَا
And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord (Allah), (39:69)
So every nation will be presented before Allah in the presence of its Messenger and the Book of its deeds. All good and evil deeds will be witnessed upon them. Their guardian angels will be witnesses too. The nations will be brought forth, one by one. Our noble Ummah, while it is the last of the nations, is the first one on the Day of Resurrection to be questioned and judged. This was stated by Allah's Messenger in a Hadith recorded by both Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
Allah's Messenger said:
نَحۡنُ الاۡخِرُونَ السَّابِقُونَ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيَامَةِ الۡمَقۡضِيُّ لَهُمۡ قَبۡلَ الۡخَلَيِق
We are the last, the first on the Day of Resurrection. We will be judged before the rest of the creatures.
His Ummah attains the honor of precedence only by the honor of its Messenger, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him forever, until the Day of Judgement.
وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ
and they will not be wronged."
