Surah 10. Yunus, Ayah 47
| وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَسُولٌ ۖ فَإِذَا جَاءَ رَسُولُهُمْ قُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | wa- li- kull 'ummah rasol fa- 'idhaa jaa'a rasol -hum qud.iya bayna -hum bi- al- qist. wa- hum laa yuz.lamon |
| Pickthall | : | And for every nation there is a messenger. And when their messenger cometh (on the Day of Judgment) it will be judged between them fairly, and they will not be wronged. |
| Asad | : | NOW every community has had an apostle; and only after their apostle has appeared [and delivered his message] is judgment passed on them, in all equity;68 and never are they wronged. |
| Malik | : | Every nation was sent a Rasool. Once their Rasool came, judgement was passed between them with all fairness and they were not wronged in the least. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | To every people (was sent) an Apostle: when their Apostle comes (before them) the matter will be judged between them with justice and they will not be wronged. 1439 |
Note - 68Lit., "and when their apostle has come, a decision is
made between them in all equity". This verse stresses (a)
the continuity of religious revelation in mankind's
history and the fact that in the long run no community,
period or civilization (which latter is one of the
meanings attributable to the term ummah) has been left
without prophetic guidance, and (b) the doctrine that God
does not punish "a community for its wrongdoing so long
as its people are still unaware [of the meaning of right
and wrong]: for all shall be judged according to their
[conscious] deeds" ({6:131-132}).

Note - 1439Every people or generation or nation had its Message or
Messenger: Allah revealed Himself to it in some way or
another. If that Messenger was ignored or rejected, or
his Message was twisted or misused, the Day of Reckoning
will come, when perfect justice will be done and the
whole Truth revealed. The Unbelievers mockingly say: "If
that is true, pray tell us when that Day will come!" The
answer of the Messenger is: "It will come in good time:
no one can either hasten or retard it. If you want me
then to save you or if you fear that I shall harm you for
your treatment of me, know that this matter is in the
hands of Allah alone, Who will do perfect justice. Even
in regard to myself, any harm or good that befalls me is
by the command and in the power of Allah".
