Surely We have sent down the Koran on thee, a sending down; 23 Therefore stay patient upon your Lord’s command, and do not listen to any of the sinners or ingrates among them. 24 Meditate upon the name of your Lord morning and evening; 25 and prostrate yourself before Him at night, and extol His Glory during the long watches of the night. 26 Surely these love the transitory and neglect a grievous day before them. 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 this is an Exhortation; so let him who so will take a way to his Lord. 29 And you do not please except that Allah please, surely Allah is Knowing, Wise; 30 He makes whom He pleases to enter into His mercy; and (as for) the unjust, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement. 31
