وَلَوْ
أَنَّ
أَهْلَ
الْقُرَى
آمَنُوا
وَاتَّقَوْا
لَفَتَحْنَا
عَلَيْهِم
بَرَكَاتٍ
مِّنَ
السَّمَاءِ
وَالْأَرْضِ
وَلَكِن
كَذَّبُوا
فَأَخَذْنَاهُم
بِمَا
كَانُوا
يَكْسِبُونَ

Had the people of the towns believed (in Our revelations) and maintained piety, We would have certainly showered on them Our blessings from the sky and the earth. But they called Our revelations lies, thus Our torment struck them for their evil deeds.
