وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ٨٤
And grant me a mention [i.e., reputation] of honor among later generations.

26. Ash-Shu'ara
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ٨٥
And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure.
وَٱغْفِرْ لِأَبِىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ٨٦
And forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray.
وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ ٨٧
And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected -
يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ ٨٨
The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children
إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ ٨٩
But only one who comes to Allāh with a sound heart."
وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ٩٠
And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous.
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ ٩١
And Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators,
وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ ٩٢
And it will be said to them, "Where are those you used to worship
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ ٩٣
Other than Allāh? Can they help you or help themselves?"
فَكُبْكِبُوا۟ فِيهَا هُمْ وَٱلْغَاوُۥنَ ٩٤
So they will be overturned into it [i.e., Hellfire], they and the deviators
وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ ٩٥
And the soldiers of Iblees, all together.
قَالُوا۟ وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ ٩٦
They will say while they dispute therein,
تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ٩٧
"By Allāh, we were indeed in manifest error
إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٩٨
When we equated you with the Lord of the worlds.
وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ ٩٩
And no one misguided us except the criminals.
فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَـٰفِعِينَ ١٠٠
So now we have no intercessors
وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ ١٠١
And not a devoted friend.
فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ١٠٢
Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers..."
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ١٠٣
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ١٠٤
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ١٠٥
The people of Noah denied the messengers
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ١٠٦
When their brother Noah said to them, "Will you not fear Allāh?
إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ ١٠٧
Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ١٠٨
So fear Allāh and obey me.
وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ١٠٩
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ١١٠
So fear Allāh and obey me."
۞ قَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلْأَرْذَلُونَ ١١١
They said, "Should we believe you while you are followed by the lowest [class of people]?"
