011.115 Y: And be steadfast in patience; for verily Allah will not suffer the reward of the righteous to perish.
P: And have patience, (O Muhammad), for lo! Allah loseth not the wages of the good.
S: And be patient, for surely Allah does not waste the reward of the good-doers.
011.116 Y: Why were there not, among the generations before you, persons possessed of balanced good sense, prohibiting (men) from mischief in the earth - except a few among them whom We saved (from harm)? But the wrong-doers pursued the enjoyment of the good things of life which were given them, and persisted in sin.
P: If only there had been among the generations before you men possessing a remnant (of good sense) to warn (their people) from corruption in the earth, as did a few of those whom We saved from them! The wrong-doers followed that by which they were made sapless, and were guilty.
S: But why were there not among the generations before you those possessing understanding, who should have forbidden the making of mischief in the earth, except a few of those whom We delivered from among them? And those who were unjust went after what they are made to enjoy of plenty, and they were guilty.
011.117 Y: Nor would thy Lord be the One to destroy communities for a single wrong-doing, if its members were likely to mend.
P: In truth thy Lord destroyed not the townships tyrannously while their folk were doing right.
S: And it did not beseem your Lord to have destroyed the towns tyrannously, while their people acted well.
011.118 Y: If thy Lord had so willed, He could have made mankind one people: but they will not cease to dispute.
