22
وَمَا لِي لاَ أَعْبُدُ الَّذِي فَطَرَنِي وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
‘Why should I not worship Him who has brought me into being, and to whom you shall all be recalled?
23
أَأَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِهِ آلِهَةً إِن يُرِدْنِ الرَّحْمَن بِضُرٍّ لاَّ تُغْنِ عَنِّي شَفَاعَتُهُمْ شَيْئًا وَلاَ يُنقِذُونِ
Shall I take others besides Him as gods? If the Gracious God should intend me any harm, their intercession will be of no avail, nor can they deliver me.
24
إِنِّي إِذًا لَّفِي ضَلاَلٍ مُّبِينٍ
In that case I should indeed be in manifest error.
25
إِنِّي آمَنتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ فَاسْمَعُونِ
Indeed, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me.’
26
قِيلَ ادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ يَا لَيْتَ قَوْمِي يَعْلَمُونَ
We said to him, ‘Enter paradise,’ and he exclaimed: ‘Would that my people knew
27
بِمَا غَفَرَ لِي رَبِّي وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ الْمُكْرَمِينَ
how my Lord has forgiven me and placed me among the honoured ones!’

Commentary
(b) The believer had risked his own life to support the call of the prophets before him. This action of his was of such great worth that he was sent to Paradise. After entering Paradise he did not speak ill of his people, although they were transgressors. On the contrary, he felt that, had they seen his reward, they would not have opposed the truth. This is the picture of a true believer. He is the well- wisher of others under all circumstances, even if he is oppressed by them.
