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 have plotted a mighty plot. 22 And said: 'Do not abandon your gods, and do not abandon Wadda or Suwa', or Yaghuth, Ya'uq or Nasr.' 23 "And so they have led many a one astray: hence, ordain Thou that these evildoers stray but farther and farther away [from all that they may desire]!" 24 Because of their sins, they were drowned and made to enter hell. They could find no one to help them besides God. 25 And Noah prayed: "O my Sustainer! Leave not on earth any of those who deny the truth: 26 If Thou shouldst leave them, they will mislead Thy slaves and will beget none save lewd ingrates. 27 My Lord, forgive me and my parents, and whoever enters my house as a believer, and forgive all believers, both men and women, and do not increase the wrong-doers in anything except perdition.” 28
