Lo! We, even We, have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a revelation; 23 Wherefore persevere thou with the commandment of thy Lord, and obey not thou of them, any sinner or ingrate. 24 Remember the name of thy Lord at morn and evening. 25 And during part of the night adore Him, and give glory to Him (a) long (part of 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, even We, created them, and strengthened their frame. And when We will, We can replace them, bringing others like them in their stead. 28 This is an admonition: Whosoever will, let him take a (straight) Path to his Lord. 29 Yet ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise. 30 He is Merciful to whom He will; but, for the harmdoers He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
