Lo! We, even We, have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a revelation; 23 So wait patiently for the command of your Lord and do not yield to any sinful or disbelieving person among them (people). 24 And glorify the name of your Lord morning and evening. 25 And part of the night, prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through. 26 These people (disbelievers) love the worldly life and neglect the terrifying day which will come. 27 We created them, and We strengthened their joints, but, when We will, We shall indeed exchange their likes. 28 This surely is a reminder: Therefore whosoever desires may take the way 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 For He admits into His mercy whomsoever He will; as for the evildoers, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement. 31
