God Never Punish a People who do Right:

11: 117

Asad For never would thy Sustainer destroy a community for wrong [beliefs alone] so long as its people behave righteously [ towards one another]. [see note 149 ]

Yusuf Ali if its Nor would thy Lord be the One to destroy communities for a single wrongdoing members were likely to mend.

Pickthall In truth thy Lord destroyed not the townships tyrannously while their folk were doing right.

[Asad note 149: ……..Explaining the above verse in this sense, Razi says: “God’s chastisement does not afflict any people merely on account their holding beliefs amounting to shirk and kufr, but afflicts them only if they persistently commit evil in their mutual dealings, and deliberately hurt [other human beings] and act tyrannically [towards them]. Hence, those who are learned in Islamic Law [ al-fuqaha] hold that men’s obligations towards God rest on the principle of [His] forgiveness and liberality, whereas the rights of man are of a stringent nature and must always be strictly observed” – the obvious reason being that God is almighty and needs no defender, whereas man is weak and needs protection. [also see 28:59, and note 61 ]

11: 118

Asad And had thy Sustainer so willed, He could surely have made all mankind one single community: but they continue to hold divergent views.

Yusuf Ali If thy Lord had so willed He could have made mankind one People: but they will not cease to dispute

Pickthall And if thy Lord had willed, He verily would have made mankind one nation, yet they cease not differing,
