The word(s) "township" appears 43 time(s) in 40 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Pickthal translation.

(1) And when We said: Go into this township and eat freely of that which is therein, and enter the gate prostrate, and say: "Repentance." We will forgive you your sins and will increase (reward) for the right-doers.

(2) Or (bethink thee of) the like of him who, passing by a township which had fallen into utter ruin, exclaimed: How shall Allah give this township life after its death? And Allah made him die a hundred years, then brought him back to life. He said: How long hast thou tarried? (The man) said: I have tarried a day or part of a day. (He) said: Nay, but thou hast tarried for a hundred years. Just look at thy food and drink which have not rotted! Look at thine ass! And, that We may make thee a token unto mankind, look at the bones, how We adjust them and then cover them with flesh! And when (the matter) became clear unto him, he said: I know now that Allah is Able to do all things.

(3) This is because thy Lord destroyeth not the townships arbitrarily while their people are unconscious (of the wrong they do).

(4) How many a township have We destroyed! As a raid by night, or while they slept at noon, Our terror came unto them.

(5) And the answer of his people was only that they said (one to another): Turn them out of your township. They are folk, forsooth, who keep pure.

(6) The chieftains of his people, who were scornful, said: Surely we will drive thee out, O Shu'eyb, and those who believe with thee, from our township, unless ye return to our religion. He said: Even though we hate it?

(7) And We sent no prophet unto any township but We did afflict its folk with tribulation and adversity that haply they might grow humble.

(8) And if the people of the townships had believed and kept from evil, surely We should have opened for them blessings from the sky and from the earth. But (unto every messenger) they gave the lie, and so We seized them on account of what they used to earn.

(9) Are the people of the townships then secure from the coming of Our wrath upon them as a night-raid while they sleep?

(10) Or are the people of the townships then secure from the coming of Our wrath upon them in the daytime while they play?
