قالوا رَبُّنا يَعلَمُ إِنّا إِلَيكُم لَمُرسَلونَ

They said, "Our Lord knows that we are messengers to you,

وَما عَلَينا إِلَّا البَلاغُ المُبينُ

And we are not responsible except for clear notification."

قالوا إِنّا تَطَيَّرنا بِكُم ۖ لَئِن لَم تَنتَهوا لَنَرجُمَنَّكُم وَلَيَمَسَّنَّكُم مِنّا عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

Should I take other than Him [false] deities [while], if the Most Merciful intends for me some adversity, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor can they save me?

إِنّي إِذًا لَفي ضَلالٍ مُبينٍ

Indeed, I would then be in manifest error.

إِنّي آمَنتُ بِرَبِّكُم فَاسمَعونِ

Indeed, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me."

قيلَ ادخُلِ الجَنَّةَ ۖ قالَ يا لَيتَ قَومي يَعلَمونَ

It was said, "Enter Paradise." He said, "I wish my people could know
