Lo! We, even We, have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a revelation; 23 so be thou patient under the judgment of thy Lord, and obey not one of them, sinner or unbeliever. 24 And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening, 25 And prostrate for Him in a part of the night, and proclaim His purity into the long night. 26 Indeed these people love what they have, the fleeting one, and have forsaken the immensely important day behind them. 27 We created them and strengthened their joints; and whenever We wish, We can change their faces entirely. 28 This surely is a reminder: Therefore whosoever desires may take the way to his Lord. 29 But you will not unless God wills; surely God is ever All-knowing, All-wise. 30 He admits to His mercy whomever He wants. For the unjust He has prepared a painful punishment. 31
