Allah does not punish a society due to its sins as long as it confesses and seeks forgiveness. But when sins become legalized, seeking forgiveness becomes absent and the punishment arrives:

{ وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ }

“And Allah would not punish them while they are still seeking forgiveness.” [al-Anfal 8:33]
