Bless me with honourable mention among later generations.1
26:84
Make me one of those awarded the Garden of Bliss.
26:85
Forgive my father, for he is certainly one of the misguided.
26:86
And do not disgrace me on the Day all will be resurrected—
26:87
the Day when neither wealth nor children will be of any benefit.
26:88
Only those who come before Allah with a pure heart ˹will be saved˺.”1
26:89
˹On that Day˺ Paradise will be brought near to the God-fearing,
26:90
and the Hellfire will be displayed to the deviant.
26:91
And it will be said to them, “Where are those you used to worship
26:92
besides Allah? Can they help you or even help themselves?”
26:93
Then the idols will be hurled headlong into Hell, along with the deviant
26:94
and the soldiers of Iblîs,1 all together.
26:95
There the deviant will cry while disputing with their idols,
26:96
“By Allah! We were clearly mistaken,
26:97
when we made you equal to the Lord of all worlds.
26:98
And none led us astray other than the wicked.
26:99
Now we have none to intercede for us,
26:100
nor a close friend.
26:101
If only we could have a second chance, then we would be believers.”
26:102
Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.
26:103
And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.
26:104
The people of Noah rejected the messengers1
26:105
when their brother Noah said to them, “Will you not fear ˹Allah˺?
26:106
I am truly a trustworthy messenger to you.
26:107
So fear Allah, and obey me.
26:108
I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the Lord of all worlds.
26:109
So fear Allah, and obey me.”
26:110
They argued, “How can we believe in you, when you are followed ˹only˺ by the lowest of the low?”1
