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 And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening, 25 and in the night prostrate to Him; and exalt Him for a long night. 26 Indeed these people love what they have, the fleeting one, and have forsaken the immensely important day behind them. 27 We created them and made firm their make, and when We please We will bring in their place the likes of them by a change. 28 Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way] -- God is indeed all-knowing and wise -- 30 He maketh whomsoever He listeth to enter His mercy. And the wrong-doers! for them He hath gotten ready a torment afflective. 31
