فَلَوْلَا
كَانَتْ
قَرْيَةٌ
آمَنَتْ
فَنَفَعَهَا
إِيمَانُهَا

قَوْمَ
يُونُسَ
لَمَّا
آمَنُوا
كَشَفْنَا
عَنْهُمْ
عَذَابَ
الْخِزْيِ
فِي
الْحَيَاةِ
الدُّنْيَا
وَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ

Why was there not a single township (among those We warned), which believed,- so its faith should have profited it,- except the people of Jonah? When they believed, We removed from them the penalty of ignominy in the life of the present, and permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Why has there not been any town that might believe, so that its belief might benefit it, except the people of Jonah? When they believed, We removed from them the punishment of disgrace in the life of this world, and We provided for them for a while.
