Indeed We have sent down the Qur’an upon you, in stages. 23 Therefore stay patient upon your Lord’s command, and do not listen to any of the sinners or ingrates among them. 24 And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening, 25 And worship Him (a portion) of the night. And glorify Him through the livelong night. 26 Surely these love the transitory and neglect a grievous day before them. 27 We created them and strengthened their joints; and whenever We wish, We can change their faces entirely. 28 Indeed, this is a reminder, so he who wills may take to his Lord a way. 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
