Lo! We, even We, have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a revelation; 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 morning and evening. 25 And during part of the night adore Him, and give glory to Him (a) long (part of the) night. 26 Verily those love the herein, and leave in front of them a heavy day. 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 your willing shall be of no avail until Allah Himself so wills. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, Most Wise. 30 He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy, and for evil-doers hath prepared a painful doom. 31
