سُوْرَةُ التَّوْبَةِ
Surah At-Tawba (9) — Ayah 126
أَوَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُمْ يُفْتَنُونَ فِى كُلِّ عَامٍ مَّرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ لَا يَتُوبُونَ وَلَا هُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ﴿126﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
See they not that they are put in trial once or twice every year (with different kinds of calamities, disease, famine)? Yet, they turn not in repentance, nor do they learn a lesson (from it).

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
126. Do they not see that they are afflicted with a calamity once or twice every year [145]? Yet they neither repent nor do they take heed.
[145] That is, there is not a single year in which, once or twice, their disgrace does not occur. Sometimes one of their conspiracies is uncovered, sometimes their secret is exposed. Sometimes a battle arises which becomes a test for their faith. Sometimes they themselves utter such nonsense that they are forced to face humiliation because of it. And whenever such an occasion arises, instead of coming to the straight path, they try to cover it up with deceit and lies. In this way, the impurity of their hearts continues to increase at every moment.
