Lo! We, even We, have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a revelation; 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, morning and evening; 25 And during the night - worship Him; and hallow Him the livelong night. 26 Indeed, these love the hasty life, and are heedless and leave behind them a heavy Day. 27 We have created them and have given them strength. Had We wanted, We could have replaced them with another people like them. 28 This is indeed a Reminder, so that he who will, takes a path to his Lord. 29 But you will not desire except as God wills. Verily He is all-knowing and all-wise. 30 He admits whosoever He will to His benevolence. But for the evil-doers He has prepared a painful punishment. 31
