26:83
I am sick, cures me; Who will cause me to die and bring me back to
life hereafter; Who, I pray, will forgive me my sins on the Day of
Judgement.
'Lord, bestow on me wisdom and let me join the righteous. Give me
renown among posterity and place me amongst the heirs of the
Blissful Garden. Forgive my father, for he has gone astray. Do not
hold me to shame on the Day of Resurrection; the day when wealth
and children will avail nothing and when none shall be saved except
him who comes before his Lord with a pure heart; when Paradise
shall be brought in sight of the righteous and Hell be brought near to
the erring. A voice will say to them: “Where are those you
worshipped? Can they help you or even help themselves?” And into
Hell they shall be hurled, they and those who misled them, and
Satan's legions all. “ByAllah,” they will say while they quarrel: “We
erred indeed when we made you equals with the Lord of the Creation.
It was the evil-doers who led us astray. We have no intercessors now,
no intimate friend. Could we but live our lives again, we would be
true believers.”
Surely in that there was a sign, yet most of themdo not believe.
Your Lord is theMighty One, theMerciful. The people of Nuh, too,
denied their apostles. (Remember) when Nuh, their brother, said to
them: 'Will you have no fear of your Lord? I am indeed your true
apostle. Fear Allah, then, and follow me. For this I demand of you no
recompense, for none can reward me except the Lord of the Creation.
