Surely We have sent down the Koran on thee, a sending down; 23 So persevere with the command of your Lord and do not pay any heed to the wicked and the unbelieving, 24 Remember the name of thy Lord at morn and evening. 25 And bow in homage part of the night, and glorify Him far into the night. 26 Surely men love what hastes away and forget the grievous day (ahead). 27 We created them, and We strengthened their joints, but, when We will, We shall indeed exchange their likes. 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 is Merciful to whom He will; but, for the harmdoers He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
