(* For worship. ** Obligatory only upon the Holy Prophet. *** On the Day of Resurrection.) 79 And say: My Lord! make me to enter a goodly entering, and cause me to go forth a goodly going forth, and grant me from near Thee power to assist (me). 80 Say, 'Truth has come and falsehood has been banished; it is doomed to banishment.'" 81 THUS, step by step, We bestow from on high through this Qur'an all that gives health [to the spirit] and is a grace unto those who believe [in Us,] the while it only adds to the ruin of evildoers: 82 for [it often happens that] when We bestow Our blessings upon man, he turns away and arrogantly keeps aloof [from any thought of Us]; and when evil fortune touches him, he abandons all hope. 83 Say to them, "Everyone acts in his own way, and your Lord knows best who is rightly guided." 84
