Nuh said: my Lord! verily they have disobeyed me and followed them whose riches and children have only increased them in loss. 21 they have devised a mighty plot, 22 and they said [to their followers], "Do not ever abandon your deities: abandon neither Wadd, nor Suwa', and neither Yaghuth, nor Yauq nor Nasr!" 23 They have misled many. So do not enable these evildoers to increase in anything except straying (from the Right Way).” 24 Because of their sins they were drowned and then put into the fire; so they did not find any supporter for themselves against Allah. (Punishment in the grave is proven by this verse.) 25 And prayed Nooh, “O my Lord! Do not leave any of the disbelievers dwelling in the land.” 26 for, behold, if Thou dost leave them, they will [always try to] lead astray those who worship Thee, and will give birth to nothing but wickedness and stubborn ingratitude. 27 “O my Lord! Forgive me, and my parents, and the believers who are in my house, and all other Muslim men and Muslim women; and do not increase anything for the unjust except ruin.” 28
