وَمَا

كَانَ

رَبُّكَ

لِيُهْلِكَ

الْقُرَى

بِظُلْمٍ

وَأَهْلُهَا

مُصْلِحُونَ

wa-mā kāna rabbuka li-yuhlika l-qurā bi-ẓulmin wa-ʾahluhā muṣliḥūna

Your Lord would never destroy the townships unjustly while their inhabitants were bringing about reform.

Ali Quli Qarai

Nor would thy Lord be the One to destroy communities for a single wrong-doing, if its members were likely to mend.

Abdullah Yusufali
