| Mohammad Shafi Why then was there no human settlement, other than the people of Jonah, which would believe and then their belief would prove profitable to them? When they (the people of Jonah) believed, We removed from them the punishment of disgrace in this world's life and, for an appointed time, We made their lives comfortable and easy |
| Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall If only there had been a community (of all those that were destroyed of old) that believed and profited by its belief as did the folk of Jonah!

| Mufti Taqi Usmani So, how is it that there never was a town, which could have believed and its belief would have been of benefit to it, except the people of Yūnus?

| Muhammad Asad For, alas, there has never yet been any community that attained to faith [in its entirety,] and thereupon benefited by its faith, except the people of Jonah.

| Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali So, was there a town that believed (and) so its belief profited it, except the people of Yunus?

| Muhammad Sarwar Why did no one except the people of Jonah believe (in their punishment before their death) so that they could have benefitted from their faith? When the people of Jonah believed, We saved them from a disgraceful torment in this life and provided them with the means of enjoyment for an appointed time |
| Muhammad Taqi Usmani So, how is it that there never was a town, which could have believed and its belief would have been of benefit to it, except the people of Yunus?

| Mustafa Khattab Allah Edition If only there had been a society which believed ˹before seeing the torment˺ and, therefore, benefited from its belief, like the people of Jonah. When they believed, We lifted from them the torment of disgrace in this world and allowed them enjoyment for a while |
| Mustafa Khattab God Edition If only there had been a society which believed ˹before seeing the torment˺ and, therefore, benefited from its belief, like the people of Jonah. When they believed, We lifted from them the torment of disgrace in this world and allowed them enjoyment for a while |

| Safi Kaskas There had never been a single community that believed and benefited from its faith except Jonah's people. When they believed, We relieved them from the disgrace of suffering in the life of this world and allowed them to enjoy their life for a time |
