﴿ وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَٰهُم بِٱلْعَذَابِ فَمَا ٱسْتَكَانُوا۟ لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ ﴾

“And, indeed, We tested them through suffer­ing, but they did not abase themselves before their Sustainer; and they will never humble them­selves”

(Already have We grasped them with punishment) with hunger and drought, (but they humble not themselves unto their Lord) but they did not submit themselves to their Lord by professing Allah's divine Oneness, (nor do they pray) nor do they believe,
