Surah 26

"And Who will cause me to die, and then will bring me to life (again).

"And Who, I hope, will forgive me my faults on the Day of Recompense, (the Day of Resurrection).

My Lord! Bestow Hukm (religious knowledge, right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood) on me, and join me with the righteous.

And grant me an honourable mention in later generations.

And make me one of the inheritors of the Paradise of Delight.

And forgive my father, verily he is of the erring.

And disgrace me not on the Day when (all the creatures) will be resurrected.

The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail,

Except him who brings to Allâh a clean heart [clean from Shirk (polytheism) and Nifâq (hypocrisy)]."

And Paradise will be brought near to the Muttaqûn (the pious - See V.2:2).

And the (Hell) Fire will be placed in full view of the erring.

And it will be said to them: "Where are those (the false gods whom you used to set up as rivals with Allâh) that you used to worship.

"Instead of Allâh? Can they help you or (even) help themselves?"

Then they will be thrown on their faces into the (Fire), they and the Ghâwûn (devils, and those who were in error).

And the whole hosts of Iblîs (Satan) together.

They will say while contending therein,

By Allâh, we were truly in a manifest error,

When We held you (false gods) as equals (in worship) with the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists);

And none has brought us into error except the Mujrimûn [Iblîs (Satan) and those of human beings who commit crimes, murderers, polytheists, oppressors].

Now we have no intercessors,
