Surely We have sent down the Koran on thee, a sending down; 23 So persevere with the command of your Lord and do not pay any heed to the wicked and the unbelieving, 24 Meditate upon the name of your Lord morning and evening; 25 and in the night prostrate to Him; and exalt Him for a long night. 26 As to these, they love the fleeting life, and put away behind them a Day (that will be) hard. 27 We created them and made firm their make, and when We please We will bring in their place the likes of them by a change. 28 Verily this is an admonition; then whosoever will, may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 But you will not desire except as God wills. Verily He is all-knowing and all-wise. 30 He makes whom He pleases to enter into His mercy; and (as for) the unjust, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement. 31
