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 Verily they love (the good of this world) that is hastily obtainable and are oblivious of the burdensome Day ahead of them. 27 We created them, and We strengthened their joints, but, when We will, We shall indeed exchange their likes. 28 This is an admonition: Whosoever will, let him take a (straight) Path to his Lord. 29 (The virtuous mentioned in this chapter) want only what God wants. God is All-knowing and All-wise. 30 He admits into His mercy, whomever He wills; and for the unjust He has kept prepared a painful punishment. 31
