Surely We have sent down the Koran on thee, a sending down; 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 the Name of your Lord every morning and afternoon [i.e. offering of the Morning (Fajr), Zuhr, and 'Asr prayers]. 25 And during night, prostrate yourself to Him (i.e. the offering of Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers), and glorify Him a long night through (i.e. Tahajjud prayer). 26 Indeed these people love what they have, the fleeting one, and have forsaken the immensely important day behind them. 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 And you do not will except that Allah wills. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. 30 He admits whom He wills into His mercy; but the wrongdoers - He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
