Lo! We, even We, have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a revelation; 23 So persevere with the command of your Lord and do not pay any heed to the wicked and the unbelieving, 24 And, remember the Name of your Lord at the dawn and in the evening; 25 And worship Him (a portion) of the night. And glorify Him through the livelong 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 have created them and have given them strength. Had We wanted, We could have replaced them with another people like them. 28 VERILY, all this is an admonition: whoever, then, so wills, may unto his Sustainer find a way. 29 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way]: for, behold, God is indeed all-seeing, wise. 30 He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy, and for evil-doers hath prepared a painful doom. 31
