And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allāh, We would have opened [i.e., bestowed] upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied [the messengers], so We seized them for what they were earning.

நிச்சயமாக அவ்வூர்வாசிகள் ஈமான் கொண்டு அல்லாஹ்வுக்கு அஞ்சி நடந்திருந்தால், நாம் அவர்களுக்கு வானத்திலிருந்தும் பூமியிலிருந்தும் - பரகத்துகளை - பாக்கியங்களைத் திறந்து விட்டிருப்போம்; ஆனால் அவர்கள் (நபிமார்களை நம்பாது) பொய்ப்பித்தனர், ஆகவே அவர்கள் செய்து கொண்டிருந்த (பாவத்)தின் காரணமாக நாம் அவர்களைப் பிடித்தோம்.

නියත වශයෙන් ම එම ප්‍රදේශවාසීන් විශ්වාස කොට බිය බැතියෙන් කටයුතු කර තිබුණේ නම් සැබැවින් ම අහසින් හා මහපොළොවෙන් අපි ඔවුන් වෙත සමෘධිය විවෘත කර දෙන්නට තිබුණි. එහෙත් ඔවුහු බොරු කළෝ ය. එවිට ඔවුන් උපයමින් සිටි දෑ හේතුවෙන් අපි ඔවුන් ග්‍රහණය කළෙමු.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
اور اگر ان بستیوں کے رہنے والے ایمان لے آتے اور پرہیزگاری اختیار کرتے تو ہم ان پر آسمان اور زمین کی برکتیں کھول دیتے لیکن انہوں نے تکذیب کی تو ہم نے ان کے اعمال کی وجہ سے ان کو پکڑ لیا۔

これらの町や村の人びとが信仰して主を畏れたならば,われは天と地の祝福の扉を,かれらのためにきっと開いたであろう。だがかれらは(真理を)偽りであるとしたので,われはかれらの行ったことに対して懲罰を加えた。

假若各城市的居民,信道而且敬畏,我必为他们而开辟天地的福利,但他们否认先知,故我因他们所作的罪恶而惩治他们了。

Tafsir of 7:96

Blessings come with Faith, while Kufr brings Torment Allah mentions here the little faith of the people of the towns to whom He sent Messengers. In another instance, Allah said, فَلَوْلاَ كَانَتْ قَرْيَةٌ ءَامَنَتْ فَنَفَعَهَآ إِيمَانُهَا إِلاَّ قَوْمَ يُونُسَ لَمَّآ ءَامَنُواْ كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمْ عَذَابَ الخِزْىِ فِى الْحَيَوةَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ إِلَى حِينٍ (Was there any town (community) that believed (after seeing the punishment), and its faith (at that moment) saved it (from the punishment) -- Except the people of Yunus; when they believed, We removed from them the torment of disgrace in the life of the (present) world, and permitted them to enjoy for a while.) 10:98 This Ayah indicates that no city believed in its entirety, except the city of Prophet Yunus, for they all believed after they were stricken by punishment.
