At-Tawba (The Repentance)

126. “Do they not see that they are tried once or twice every year? Yet they neither repent, nor do they take admonition.”

These blind-hearted hypocrites take no counsel and take an example of nothing. They are always faced with trials, and some calamities and disasters fall upon them, but they do not come to themselves and do not take counsel.

In this holy verse, if fact, the Qur’ān criticizes their inattentiveness and their unawareness. It says:

“Do they not see that they are tried once or twice every year? Yet they neither repent, nor do they take admonition.”
