We have indeed, sent down to you the Koran, a (clear) sending, 23 Therefore stay patient upon your Lord’s command, and do not listen to any of the sinners or ingrates among them. 24 And remember the Name of your Lord every morning and afternoon [i.e. offering of the Morning (Fajr), Zuhr, and 'Asr prayers]. 25 And during the night prostrate to Him and exalt Him a long [part of the] night. 26 Indeed, these [disbelievers] love the immediate and leave behind them a grave Day. 27 It is We Who created them, and We have made their joints strong; but, when We will, We can substitute the like of them by a complete change. 28 This is a reminder. Let whoever wishes, take the right path to 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 is Merciful to whom He will; but, for the harmdoers He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
