فلولا كانت قرية امنت فنفعها ايمانها الا قوم يونس لما امنوا كشفنا عنهم عذاب الخزي في الحياة الدنيا ومتعناهم الى حين

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.
