We have indeed, sent down to you the Koran, a (clear) sending, 23 Wherefore persevere thou with the commandment of thy Lord, and obey not thou of them, any sinner or ingrate. 24 And glorify the name of your Lord morning and evening. 25 And during the night prostrate to Him and exalt Him a long [part of the] night. 26 Behold, they [who are unmindful of God] love this fleeting life, and leave behind them [all thought of] a grief-laden Day. 27 We have created them and have given them strength. Had We wanted, We could have replaced them with another people like them. 28 This is an admonition: Whosoever will, let him take a (straight) Path to his Lord. 29 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way]: for, behold, God is indeed all-seeing, wise. 30 He admits to His Mercy whomsoever He pleases. As for the wrong-doers, He has prepared for them a grievous chastisement. 31
