| وَتِلْكَ الْقُرَىٰ أَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ لَمَّا ظَلَمُوا وَجَعَلْنَا لِمَهْلِكِهِمْ مَوْعِدًا |
| Transliteration | : | wa- tilka al- quraa ahlaknaa -hum lammaa z.alamo wa- jacalnaa li- mahlik -him mawcid(an) |
| Pickthall | : | And (all) those townships! We destroyed them when they did wrong, and We appointed a fixed time for their destruction. |
| Asad | : | as [was the case with all] those communities that We destroyed when they went on and on doing wrong:66 for We had set a time-limit for their destruction. |
| Malik | : | All those nations whom We destroyed for their wrong doings were given respite and an appointed time for their destruction. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Such were the populations We destroyed when they committed iniquities; but We fixed an appointed time for their destruction. 2403 |

i.e., persistently and for a long time.

Note - 2403The instances of exemplary Punishment in former times
were also subject to this rule, that Allah gives plenty
of rope to the wicked, in case they might turn, repent,
and obtain His Mercy.
