And never would your Lord have destroyed the cities until He had sent to their mother [i.e., principal city] a messenger reciting to them Our verses. And We would not destroy the cities except while their people were wrongdoers.

(நபியே!) நம் வசனங்களை அவர்களுக்கு ஓதிக் காண்பிக்கும் தூதர் ஒருவரை அவர்களுடைய தலைநகருக்கு அனுப்பி வைக்காத வரையில் எந்த ஊர்களையும் உம்முடைய இறைவன் அழிப்பவனாக இல்லை மேலும், எந்த ஊரையும் அதன் மக்கள் அக்கிரமக் காரர்களாக இல்லாத வரையில் நாம் அழிப்போராகவும் இல்லை.

තවද අපගේ වදන් ඔවුන් වෙත කියවා පෙන්වන දූතයකු එහි මව් නගරයට එවන තෙක් ඔබේ පරමාධිපති එම ගම්මානය විනාශ කරන්නකු නො වීය. තවද අපි එහි වැසියන් අපරාධකරුවන් ලෙස සිටිය දී මිස එම ගම්මානය විනාශ කරන්නන් නො වූයෙමු.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
تیرا رب کسی ایک بستی کو بھی اس وقت تک ہلاک نہیں کرتا جب تک کہ ان کی کسی بڑی بستی میں اپنا کوئی پیغمبر نہ بھیج دے جو انہیں ہماری آیتیں پڑھ کر سنا دے اور ہم بستیوں کو اسی وقت ہلاک کرتے ہیں جب کہ وہاں والے ﻇلم وستم پر کمر کس لیں.

だがあなたの主はその(国の)首都に使徒を遣わし,かれらにわが印を読誦してからでなければ1つの町をも滅ぼしたことがなかった。またその民が悪を行わない限り,町や村を滅ぼさなかった。

你的主,不会毁灭各城市,直到他在首邑中派遣一个使者,对各城市的居民宣读他的迹象。我不会毁灭各城市,除非城市里的居民多行不义。

Tafsir of 28:59

The Destruction of Towns, which are not destroyed until Evidence is established against Them Referring to the people of Makkah, Allah says: وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ بَطِرَتْ مَعِيشَتَهَا (And how many a town have We destroyed, which was thankless for its means of livelihood!) They were arrogant transgressors who denied Allah's blessing of giving them ample provision. This is like the Ayah, o وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلاً قَرْيَةً كَانَتْ ءَامِنَةً مُّطْمَئِنَّةً يَأْتِيهَا رِزْقُهَا رَغَدًا مِّن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ (And Allah puts forward the example of a township, that dwelt secure and well-content: its provision coming to it in abundance from every place) until: فَأَخَذَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ وَهُمْ ظَلِمُونَ (So the torment overtook them while they were wrongdoers.) (16:112-113) Allah said: فَتِلْكَ مَسَكِنُهُمْ لَمْ تُسْكَن مِّن بَعْدِهِمْ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً (And those are their dwellings, which have not been inhabited after them except a little.) Their land became empty and desolate, and you can see nothing but their dwellings. وَكُنَّا نَحْنُ الْوَرِثِينَ (And verily, We have been the heirs.) Their towns became ruins, with none remaining.…
