Truly, it is We who have revealed to you the Quran, a gradual revelation. 23 So be patient for the decision of your Lord and do not obey from among them a sinner or ungrateful [disbeliever]. 24 And glorify the name of your Lord morning and evening. 25 and during some of the night, and prostrate thyself before Him, and extol His limitless glory throughout the long night. 26 Indeed, these [disbelievers] love the immediate and leave behind them a grave Day. 27 We created them and strengthened their joints; and whenever We wish, We can change their faces entirely. 28 This is indeed an advice; so whoever wishes may take the path towards his Lord. 29 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way] -- God is indeed all-knowing and wise -- 30 He admits into His mercy, whomever He wills; and for the unjust He has kept prepared a painful punishment. 31
