Verily! It is We Who have sent down the Quran to you (O Muhammad SAW) by stages. 23 Wherefore persevere thou with the commandment of thy Lord, and obey not thou of them, any sinner or ingrate. 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 in the night prostrate to Him; and exalt Him for a long night. 26 Those people [who are unmindful of God] aspire for immediate gains, and put behind them a Heavy Day. 27 We created them and strengthened their joints; and whenever We wish, We can change their faces entirely. 28 Verily this is an Exhortation; so let him who so will take a way to his Lord. 29 But ye will not, except as Allah wills; for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom. 30 He admits whosoever He will to His benevolence. But for the evil-doers He has prepared a painful punishment. 31
