وَإِن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا نَحْنُ مُهْلِكُوهَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُوهَا عَذَابًۭا شَدِيدًۭا ۚ كَانَ ذَٰلِكَ فِى ٱلْكِتَٰبِ مَسْطُورًۭا

سُورَةُ الإِسۡرَاءِ
English — Sahih International
And there is no city but that We will destroy it before the Day of Resurrection or punish it with a severe punishment. That has ever been in the Register inscribed.
اردو — مودودی
اور کوئی بستی ایسی نہیں جسے ہم قیامت سے پہلے ہلاک نہ کریں یا سخت عذاب نہ دیں یہ نوشتہ الٰہی میں لکھا ہوا ہے
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Tak ada suatu negeripun (yang durhaka penduduknya), melainkan Kami membinasakannya sebelum hari kiamat atau Kami azab (penduduknya) dengan azab yang sangat keras. Yang demikian itu telah tertulis di dalam kitab (Lauh Mahfuzh).
Ibn Kathir
The Destruction or Torment of all Disbelieving Towns before the Hour begins
Here Allah tells us that He has decreed and it is written in Al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz (The Preserved Tablet) which is with Him, that there is no town that He will not destroy by wiping out all its people or by punishing them,
عَذَاباً شَدِيداً
(with a severe torment.) either by killing them or sending calamities upon them as He wills. This will be because of their sins, as Allah says of the past nations:
وَمَا ظَلَمْنَـهُمْ وَلَـكِن ظَلَمُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ
(We wronged them not, but they wronged themselves.) 11:101
فَذَاقَتْ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهَا وَكَانَ عَـقِبَةُ أَمْرِهَا خُسْراً
(So it tasted the evil result of its affair (disbelief), and the consequence of its affair (disbelief) was loss.) 65:9
وَكَأِيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ عَتَتْ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهَا وَرُسُلِهِ
(And many a town (population) revolted against the command of its Lord and His Messengers;) 65:8 and many Ayat.
المُيَسَّر
ويتوعَّد الله الكفار بأنه ما من قريةٍ كافرة مكذبة للرسل إلا وسينزل بها عقابه بالهلاك في الدنيا قبل يوم القيامة أو بالعذاب الشديد لأهلها، كتاب كتبه الله وقضاء أبرمه لا بد مِن وقوعه، وهو مسطور في اللوح المحفوظ.
