Surely We have sent down the Koran on thee, a sending down; 23 So persevere with the command of your Lord and do not pay any heed to the wicked and the unbelieving, 24 Mention the Name of your Lord, mornings and evenings. 25 And part of the night, prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through. 26 Indeed, these [disbelievers] love the immediate and leave behind them a grave Day. 27 [They will not admit to themselves that] it We who have created them and strengthened their make - and [that] if it be Our will We can replace them entirely with others of their kind. 28 This is an admonition: Whosoever will, let him take a (straight) Path to his Lord. 29 And you do not will except that Allah wills. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. 30 He admits into His mercy, whomever He wills; and for the unjust He has kept prepared a painful punishment. 31
