Quran

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ

-by God we were in manifest straying –

إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

-when we equated you to the Lord of the multiverse.

وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ

We were misled by the guilty.

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَـٰفِعِينَ

We therefore have no intercessors.

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ

And no true close friend.

فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

If only we could get another chance, we would then become believers.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Indeed, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

And indeed, your Lord is The Almighty, The All Merciful.

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Indeed I am an honest messenger to you.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

Therefore, you shall fear God and obey.

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

 I do not ask you for any wage, my wage comes from the Lord of the multiverse.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

قَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلْأَرْذَلُونَ

They said, should we believe for your sake, while the worst have followed you?

قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِى بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

He said; I have no knowledge of their actions.

إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّى لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ

Their reckoning only rests with my Lord, if you understand.

وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

فَٱفْتَحْ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًا وَنَجِّنِى وَمَن مَّعِىَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Therefore, take me away from them victoriously and save me and the faithful along with me.

فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ

We saved him and those with him on the loaded ship.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ

We then drowned the rest.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
