They have no protector, apart from Him, and He associates in His government no one.' 26 Read whatever is revealed to you from the Book of your Lord. No one can change His words and you can never find any refuge other than Him. 27 Be patient with those who worship their Lord in the mornings and evenings to seek His pleasure. Do not overlook them to seek the worldly pleasures. Do not obey those whom We have caused to neglect Us and instead follow their own desires beyond all limits. 28 And say thou: the truth is from your Lord; let him therefore who will, believe, and let him who will, disbelieve.

How excellent the guerdon, and excellent the resting-place! 31
