And your Lord would not have destroyed the cities unjustly while their people were reformers.

Your Lord, O Messenger, would not destroy any town if its inhabitants were acting correctly on earth. He would only destroy it if the inhabitants were causing corruption by disbelief, disobedience and sins.
