(Muhammad), We have revealed the Quran to you in gradual steps. 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, morning and evening; 25 Prostrate before Him and glorify Him extensively during the night. 26 Verily they love (the good of this world) that is hastily obtainable and are oblivious of the burdensome Day ahead of them. 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 Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 Yet you will not unless Allah wills; surely, Allah is the Knower, the Wise. 30 For He admits into His mercy whomsoever He will; as for the evildoers, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement. 31
