Indeed We have sent down the Qur’an upon you, in 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 part of the night; bow down before Him and magnify Him through the long night. 26 Indeed these people love what they have, the fleeting one, and have forsaken the immensely important day behind them. 27 It is We Who created them, and strengthened their skeleton; and We can replace them with others like them, whenever We will. 28 Verily! This (Verses of the Quran) is an admonition, so whosoever wills, let him take a Path to his Lord (Allah). 29 But your willing shall be of no avail until Allah Himself so wills. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, Most Wise. 30 He is Merciful to whom He will; but, for the harmdoers He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
