(Muhammad), We have revealed the Quran to you in gradual steps. 23 Therefore wait patiently for the command of your Lord, and obey not from among them a sinner or an ungrateful one. 24 Meditate upon the name of your Lord morning and evening; 25 And part of the night, prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through. 26 Behold, they [who are unmindful of God] love this fleeting life, and leave behind them [all thought of] a grief-laden Day. 27 It is We Who created them, and strengthened their skeleton; and We can replace them with others like them, whenever We will. 28 Verily this is an Exhortation; so let him who so will take a way to his Lord. 29 Yet ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise. 30 He admits whoever He will into His grace and has prepared a painful punishment for the evil doers. 31
