فَلَوْلَا So why not falawlā was kānat any town qaryatun that believed āmanat and benefited it fanafaʿahā its faith īmānuhā except illā the people qawma (of) Yunus yūnusa When lammā they believed āmanū We removed kashafnā from them ʿanhum (the) punishment ʿadhāba (of) the disgrace l-khiz'yi in fī the life l-ḥayati of the world l-dun'yā and We granted them enjoyment wamattaʿnāhum for ilā a time ḥīnin
Then has there not been a [single] city that believed so its faith benefited it except the people of Jonah? When they believed, We removed from them the punishment of disgrace in worldly life and gave them enjoyment [i.e., provision] for a time.
