Surely We have sent down the Koran on thee, a sending down; 23 therefore be patient under the Judgement of your Lord, and do not obey either the sinner or the unbeliever. 24 Meditate upon the name of your Lord morning and evening; 25 and during some of the night, and prostrate thyself before Him, and extol His limitless glory throughout the long night. 26 Surely men love what hastes away and forget the grievous day (ahead). 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, unless Allah wills. Verily, Allah is Ever All-Knowing, 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
