Surely We have sent down the Koran on thee, a sending down; 23 So wait patiently for the command of your Lord, and do not yield to anyone among them who is sinful or ungrateful; 24 And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening, 25 And bow in homage part of the night, and glorify Him far into the night. 26 Surely these love the transitory and neglect a grievous day before them. 27 We created them and made firm their make, and when We please We will bring in their place the likes of them by a change. 28 Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way] -- God is indeed all-knowing and wise -- 30 He is Merciful to whom He will; but, for the harmdoers He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
