Human Injustices & Divine Justice


وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِيُهْلِكَ الْقُرَىٰ بِظُلْمٍ وَأَهْلُهَا مُصْلِحُونَ

In truth thy Lord destroyed not the townships tyrannously while their folk were doing right.
[Al-Quran 11:117, Translation: M M Pickthal]

Nor would thy Lord be the One to destroy communities for a single wrong-doing, if its members were likely to mend.
[Al-Quran 11:117, Translation: Yusuf Ali]

Your Lord would not have destroyed those people (of the towns) for their injustice if they had tried to reform themselves.
[Al-Quran 11:117, Translation: Muhammad Sarwar]

And your Lord would not have destroyed the cities unjustly while their people were reformers.
[Al-Quran 11:117, Translation: Sahih International]


Are we willing to reform ourselves and our society? Will we establish justice? Will we prove ourselves responsible and worthy of the gift of independence? Will we believe?!?!?!?
