26:84 and grant me an honorable mention among the later generations[1],

26:85 and make me of those who will inherit the Garden of Bliss;

26:86 and forgive my father, for he is one of those who have gone astray;

26:87 and do not disgrace me on the Day when all will be resurrected –

26:88 the Day when neither wealth nor children will be of any avail,

26:89 except the one who comes to Allah with a sound heart[1].”

26:90 Paradise will be brought near to the righteous,

26:91 and Hellfire will be uncovered to those who went astray,

26:92 and they will be told, “Where are those whom you used to worship

26:100 Now we neither have any intercessors,

26:101 nor a close friend.

26:102 If only we had a chance to return, we would be among the believers.”

26:103 Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them would not believe.

26:104 Your Lord is surely the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

26:105 The people of Noah rejected the messengers[1]

26:106 when their brother Noah said to them, “Do you not fear Allah?

26:107 I am a trustworthy messenger to you,

26:108 so fear Allah, and obey me.

26:109 I seek of you no reward for this; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds;

26:110 so fear Allah, and obey me.”

26:111 They said, “Shall we believe in you when you are followed by the lowest people[1]?”
