Indeed We have sent down the Qur’an upon you, in stages. 23 Wherefore persevere thou with the commandment of thy Lord, and obey not thou of them, any sinner or ingrate. 24 Mention the Name of your Lord, mornings and evenings. 25 And part of the night, prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through. 26 Verily! These (disbelievers) love the present life of this world, and put behind them a heavy Day (that will be hard). 27 It is We Who created them, and strengthened their skeleton; and We can replace them with others like them, whenever We will. 28 Surely this is a reminder, so whoever pleases takes to his Lord a way. 29 But ye will not, except as Allah wills; for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom. 30 He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy, and for evil-doers hath prepared a painful doom. 31
