Nuh said: my Lord! verily they have disobeyed me and followed them whose riches and children have only increased them in loss. 21 And they contrived a plot of great magnitude, 22 "And they have said (to each other), 'Abandon not your gods: Abandon neither Wadd nor Suwa', neither Yaguth nor Ya'uq, nor Nasr';- 23 They have misled many. So do not enable these evildoers to increase in anything except straying (from the Right Way).” 24 So because of their sins they were drowned and admitted into the Fire. They found none to help them other than Allah. 25 And Noah said: My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers in the land. 26 for, behold, if Thou dost leave them, they will [always try to] lead astray those who worship Thee, and will give birth to nothing but wickedness and stubborn ingratitude. 27 My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whosoever enters my house as a believer, and the believers, men and women alike; and do Thou not increase the evildoers save in ruin!' 28
