He said: "Do they hear you, when you call on (them)? 73. "Or do they benefit you or do they harm (you)?" 74. They said: "(Nay) but we found our fathers doing so." 75. He said: "Do you observe that which you have been worshipping - 76. "You and your ancient fathers? 77. "Verily they are enemies to me, save the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists), 78. "Who has created me, and it is He Who guides me. 79. "And it is He Who feeds me and gives me to drink. 80. "And when I am ill, it is He who cures me. 81. "And Who will cause me to die, and then will bring me to life (again). 82. "And Who, I hope, will forgive me my faults on the Day of Recompense, (the Day of Resurrection). 83. My Lord! Bestow Hukm (religious knowledge, right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood) on me, and join me with the righteous. 84. And grant me an honourable mention in later generations. 85.

And the (Hell) Fire will be placed in full view of the erring. 92. 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. 93. "Instead of Allâh? Can they help you or (even) help themselves?" 94. Then they will be thrown on their faces into the (Fire), they and the Ghâwûn (devils, and those who were in error). 95. And the whole hosts of Iblîs (Satan) together. 96. They will say while contending therein, 97. By Allâh, we were truly in a manifest error, 98. When We held you (false gods) as equals (in worship) with the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists); 99. And none has brought us into error except the Mujrimûn [Iblîs (Satan) and those of human beings who commit crimes, murderers, polytheists, oppressors]. 100. Now we have no intercessors, 101. Nor a close friend (to help us). 102. (Alas!) If we only had a chance to return (to the world), we shall truly be among the believers! 103. Verily in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers. 104. And verily, your Lord, He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
