Indeed We have sent down the Qur’an upon you, in stages. 23 So persevere with the command of your Lord and do not pay any heed to the wicked and the unbelieving, 24 And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening, 25 And part of the night, prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through. 26 Surely men love what hastes away and forget the grievous day (ahead). 27 We created them, and We strengthened their joints; and, when We will, We shall exchange their likes. 28 Surely this is a reminder, so whoever pleases takes to his Lord a way. 29 But you will not unless God wills; surely God is ever All-knowing, All-wise. 30 He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy, and for evil-doers hath prepared a painful doom. 31
