94 رَبِّ فَلَا تَجۡعَلۡنِی فِی ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِینَ ۝٩٤ rabbi falā tajʿalnī fī l-qawmi l-ẓālimīn then Lord, do not include me among the evildoers!’ 95 وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰۤ أَن نُّرِیَكَ مَا نَعِدُهُمۡ لَقَـٰدِرُونَ ۝٩٥ wa-innā ʿalā an nuriyaka mā naʿiduhum laqādirūn We certainly are able to show you the punishment We have promised them 96 ٱدۡفَعۡ بِٱلَّتِی هِیَ أَحۡسَنُ ٱلسَّیِّئَةَۚ نَحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا یَصِفُونَ ۝٩٦ id'faʿ bi-allatī hiya aḥsanu l-sayi-ata naḥnu aʿlamu bimā yaṣifūn Repel evil with good- We are well aware of what they attribute to Us 97 وَقُل رَّبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنۡ هَمَزَ ٰتِ ٱلشَّیَـٰطِینِ ۝٩٧ waqul rabbi aʿūdhu bika min hamazāti l-shayāṭīn and say, ‘Lord, I take refuge with You from the goadings of the evil ones
