Allah ˹alone˺ caused you¹ to grow from the earth like a plant.

Then He will return you to it, and then simply bring you forth ˹again˺.

And Allah ˹alone˺ spread out the earth for you

to walk along its spacious pathways.’”

˹Eventually,˺ Noah cried, “My Lord! They have certainly persisted in disobeying me, and followed ˹instead˺ those ˹elite˺ whose ˹abundant˺ wealth and children only increase them in loss,

and who have devised a tremendous plot,

urging ˹their followers˺, ‘Do not abandon your idols—especially Wadd, Suwâ’, Yaghûth, Ya’ûq, and Nasr.’¹

Those ˹elite˺ have already led many astray. So ˹O Lord˺, only allow the wrongdoers to stray farther away.”

So because of their sins, they were drowned, then admitted into the Fire. And they found none to help them against Allah.

Noah had prayed, “My Lord! Do not leave a single disbeliever on earth.

For if You spare ˹any of˺ them, they will certainly mislead Your servants, and give birth only to ˹wicked˺ sinners, staunch disbelievers.

My Lord! Forgive me, my parents, and whoever enters my house in faith, and ˹all˺ believing men and women. And increase the wrongdoers only in destruction.”
