Do not renounce Wadd, Suwa`, Yaghuth, Ya`uq and Nasr (names of certain idols). 23 And they have led many astray, and Thou increasest the wrong-doers in naught save error. 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 prayed: "O my Sustainer! Leave not on earth any of those who deny the truth: 26 For surely if Thou leave them they will lead astray Thy servants, and will not beget any but immoral, ungrateful (children) 27 "O my Sustainer! Grant Thy forgiveness unto me and unto my parents, and unto everyone who enters my house as a believer, and unto all believing men and believing women [of later times]; and grant Thou that the doers of evil shall increasingly meet with destruction!" 28
