Verily We! it is We Who have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a gradual revelation. 23 So wait patiently for the command of your Lord and do not yield to any sinful or disbelieving person among them (people). 24 And remember the Name of your Lord every morning and afternoon [i.e. offering of the Morning (Fajr), Zuhr, and 'Asr prayers]. 25 And worship Him (a portion) of the night. And glorify Him through the livelong night. 26 Indeed these people love what they have, the fleeting one, and have forsaken the immensely important day behind them. 27 [They will not admit to themselves that] it We who have created them and strengthened their make - and [that] if it be Our will We can replace them entirely with others of their kind. 28 Indeed, this is a reminder, so he who wills may take to his Lord a way. 29 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way]: for, behold, God is indeed all-seeing, wise. 30 He admits to His mercy whomever He wants. For the unjust He has prepared a painful punishment. 31
