مَثَلَ كَفَرَ رَبَّ عَمِلَ رَمَدَ شَدَّ رَاحَ فِي يوْم عَصَفَ قدر كَسَبَ شِاءَ ضلّ بعُد


The example of those who are ungrateful to their Rabb, their deeds: are like burnt ashes, violently blown away in the wind on a stormy day. They will not amount to anything that they have earned. That is (because they were in) far-away misguidance.

I had no authority (control) on you, except that I invited you, and you responded for me, so do not blame me and blame yourselves. It is not for me to cry for help for you, and you do not cry for help for me. Indeed, I renege with what you made me partner (with Allah) before. The unjust, for them, is a painful punishment.”

رَبَّ سَكَنَ ذَرَّ فَدَى غير ذُو زَرَعَ عَنَدَ بَا تَ حَرُمَ رَبَّ قَامَ صلو جعل فُؤَاد أَنِسَ هوى رَزَقَ ثَمَرَ شَكَرَ


“O our Rabb, I have settled down my family in a valley with nothing to grow, near your Sacred House, O our Rabb, for them to establish prayers. So, put passions in the hearts of humankind towards them, and provide them with a source of sustenance from the fruits, so that they may give thanks to You.
