The appointed time for their punishment will inevitably come. 129 Therefore, be patient with what they say, and exalt with the praise of your Lord before sunrise and before sunset. And in the watches of the night and at the edges of the day, exalt Him, so that you will be pleasing. 130 Stretch not thine eyes to that We have given pairs of them to enjoy - the flower of the present life, that We may try them therein and thy Lord's provision is better, and more enduring. 131 Enjoin Prayer on your household, and do keep observing it.

You will come to know soon who are the men of the straight path and who have come to guidance. 135
