And hallow Him in part of the night and the ends of the day, haply thou wilt be pleased. 130 And do not stretch your eyes after that with which We have provided different classes of them, (of) the splendor of this world's life, that We may thereby try them; and the sustenance (given) by your Lord is better and more abiding. 131 Order your family to pray and be patient in it.
