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 carried out a very sinister scheme.” 22 “And they said, ‘Do not ever abandon your Gods – and never abandon Wadd, or Suwa – or Yaghuth or Yauq or Nasr.’” 23 And they have led many astray, and Thou increasest the wrong-doers in naught save error. 24 Because of their sins they were drowned (in the flood), and were made to enter the Fire (of Punishment): and they found- in lieu of Allah- none to help them. 25 Noah said: “My Lord, do not leave out of these unbelievers even a single dweller on earth, 26 If you leave them, they will lead Your creatures astray, and beget but iniquitous and ungrateful offspring. 27 O Lord, forgive me, my parents, and any one who enters my house as a believer, and all believing men and women, and do not give the evil-doers increase save in ruin. 28
