95 Preface وَحَرامٌ عَلىٰ قَريَةٍ أَهلَكناها أَنَّهُم لا يَرجِعونَYusuf AliBut there is a ban on any population which We have destroyed: that they1 shall not return,But when wickedness comes to such a pass that the Wrath of God descends, as it did on Sodom, the case becomes hopeless. The righteous were warned and delivered before the Wrath descended. But those destroyed will not get another chance, as they flouted all previous chances. They will only be raised at the approach of the Day of Judgment.
