Noah said: “My Lord, they did not pay heed to what I said, and followed those (nobles) whose possession of wealth and children has led them to an even greater loss. 21 and have devised a mighty device 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 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 Noah said: “My Lord, do not leave out of these unbelievers even a single dweller on earth, 26 if You leave any, they will misguide Your servants, and they will beget none but sinners and deniers of truth -- 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
