وَجُنودُ إِبليسَ أَجمَعونَ

And the soldiers of Iblees, all together.

And no one misguided us except the criminals.

And not a devoted friend.

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

The people of Noah denied the messengers
