Surely We have sent down the Koran on thee, a sending down; 23 Wherefore persevere thou with the commandment of thy Lord, and obey not thou of them, any sinner or ingrate. 24 Meditate upon the name of your Lord morning and evening; 25 Prostrate before Him and glorify Him extensively during 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 created them and strengthened their joints; and whenever We wish, We can change their faces entirely. 28 This chapter is a reminder. Let those who want, seek guidance from their Lord. 29 Yet you will not unless Allah wills; surely, Allah is the Knower, the Wise. 30 He admits whom He wills into His mercy; but the wrongdoers - He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
