[And] Noah continued: "O my Sustainer! Behold, they have opposed me [throughout,] for they follow people whose wealth and children lead them increasingly into ruin, 21 They contrived a plot of great magnitude. 22 and have said to each other, 'Do not give-up your idols. Do not renounce Wadd, Suwa`, Yaghuth, Ya`uq and Nasr (names of certain idols). 23 They have misled many and the unjust will achieve nothing but more error". 24 And so, because of their sins, they were drowned [in the great flood,] and were doomed to suffer the fire [of the hereafter]; and they found none who could succour them against God. 25 And Noah (supplicated) saying: 'My Lord, do not leave a single unbeliever upon the earth. 26 If Thou shouldst leave them, they will mislead Thy slaves and will beget none save lewd ingrates. 27 Lord! Forgive me and my parents and every true believer who enters my house, forgive all the believing men and believing women; and bestow no increase upon the wrongdoers except in ruin? 28
