"Grant me honourable mention on the tongue of truth among the latest (generations);

"Make me one of the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss;

"Forgive my father, for that he is among those astray;

"And let me not be in disgrace on the Day when (men) will be raised up;-

"The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail,

"But only he (will prosper) that brings to Allah a sound heart;

"To the righteous, the Garden will be brought near,

"And to those straying in Evil, the Fire will be placed in full view;

"And it shall be said to them: 'Where are the (gods) ye worshipped-

"'Besides Allah. Can they help you or help themselves?'

"Then they will be thrown headlong into the (Fire),- they and those straying in Evil,

"And the whole hosts of Iblis together.

"They will say there in their mutual bickerings:

"'By Allah, we were truly in an error manifest,

"'When we held you as equals with the Lord of the Worlds;

"'And our seducers were only those who were steeped in guilt.

"'Now, then, we have none to intercede (for us),

"'Nor a single friend to feel (for us).

"'Now if we only had a chance of return we shall truly be of those who believe!'"

Verily in this is a Sign but most of them do not believe.

And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.

The people of Noah rejected the apostles.

Behold, their brother Noah said to them: "Will ye not fear ((Allah))?

"I am to you an apostle worthy of all trust:

"So fear Allah, and obey me.

"No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds:

"So fear Allah, and obey me."

They said: "Shall we believe in thee when it is the meanest that follow thee?"
