We have indeed, sent down to you the Koran, a (clear) sending, 23 Therefore be patient with constancy to the Command of thy Lord, and hearken not to the sinner or the ingrate among them. 24 And remember thou the name of thy Lord in the morning and in the evening. 25 And bow in homage part of the night, and glorify Him far into the night. 26 Indeed, these [disbelievers] love the immediate and leave behind them a grave 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 Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 But you will not desire except as God wills. Verily He is all-knowing and all-wise. 30 He admits to His mercy whomever He wants. For the unjust He has prepared a painful punishment. 31
