(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 Mention the Name of your Lord, mornings and evenings. 25 and in the night prostrate to Him; and exalt Him for a long night. 26 Indeed, these love the hasty life, and are heedless and leave behind them a heavy Day. 27 We created them, and We strengthened their joints; and, when We will, We shall exchange their likes. 28 Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto 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 maketh whom He will to enter His mercy, and for evil-doers hath prepared a painful doom. 31
