Verily! It is We Who have sent down the Quran to you (O Muhammad SAW) by stages. 23 So persevere with the command of your Lord and do not pay any heed to the wicked and the unbelieving, 24 And remember the Name of your Lord every morning and afternoon [i.e. offering of the Morning (Fajr), Zuhr, and 'Asr prayers]. 25 And prostrate for Him in a part of the night, and proclaim His purity into the long night. 26 Indeed these people love what they have, the fleeting one, and have forsaken the immensely important day behind them. 27 We have created them and strengthened their forms, and when We will, We can change their likenesses with [complete] alteration. 28 This surely is a reminder: Therefore whosoever desires may take the way to his Lord. 29 And you do not will except that Allah wills. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. 30 For He admits into His mercy whomsoever He will; as for the evildoers, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement. 31
