فَلَوْلَا So why not كَانَتْ was قَرْيَةٌ any town ءَامَنَتْ that believed فَنَفَعَهَآ and benefited it إِيمَـٰنُهَآ its faith إِلَّا except قَوْمَ the people يُونُسَ (of) Yunus لَمَّآ When ءَامَنُوا۟ they believed كَشَفْنَا We removed عَنْهُمْ from them عَذَابَ (the) punishment ٱلْخِزْىِ (of) the disgrace فِى in ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ the life ٱلدُّنْيَا of the world وَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ and We granted them enjoyment إِلَىٰ for حِينٍۢ a time ٩٨
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.
