Indeed We have sent down the Qur’an upon you, in stages. 23 Wherefore persevere thou with the commandment of thy Lord, and obey not thou of them, any sinner or ingrate. 24 And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening, 25 And during part of the night adore Him, and give glory to Him (a) long (part of the) night. 26 Surely men love what hastes away and forget the grievous day (ahead). 27 We have created them and strengthened their forms, and when We will, We can change their likenesses with [complete] alteration. 28 Surely this is a reminder, so whoever pleases takes to his Lord a way. 29 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills; indeed Allah is All Knowing, Wise. 30 He admits unto His grace everyone who wills [to be admitted]; but as for the evildoers - for them has He readied grievous suffering [in the life to come]. 31
