They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted.
He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?
Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?
They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus.
He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,
You and your ancient forefathers?

And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life
And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense.
