(Muhammad), We have revealed the Quran to you in gradual steps. 23 so be thou patient under the judgment of thy Lord, and obey not one of them, sinner or unbeliever. 24 Remember the name of thy Lord at morn and evening. 25 And bow in homage part of the night, and glorify Him far into the night. 26 Indeed, these love the hasty life, and are heedless and leave behind them a heavy Day. 27 It is We Who created them, and We have made their joints strong; but, when We will, We can substitute the like of them by a complete change. 28 This is an admonition: Whosoever will, let him take a (straight) Path to his Lord. 29 But you will not desire except as God wills. Verily He is all-knowing and all-wise. 30 For He admits into His mercy whomsoever He will; as for the evildoers, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement. 31
