Indeed, it is We who have sent down to you, [O Muhammad], the Qur'an progressively. 23 Therefore stay patient upon your Lord’s command, and do not listen to any of the sinners or ingrates among them. 24 and glorify your Lord morning and evening; 25 and prostrate yourself before Him at night, and extol His Glory during the long watches of the 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 This surely is a reminder: Therefore whosoever desires may take the way to his Lord. 29 But you cannot will, unless Allah wills. Verily, Allah is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise. 30 He admits into His mercy, whomever He wills; and for the unjust He has kept prepared a painful punishment. 31
