Verily We! it is We Who have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a gradual revelation. 23 therefore be patient under the Judgement of your Lord, and do not obey either the sinner or the unbeliever. 24 And, remember the Name of your Lord at the dawn and in the evening; 25 And bow in homage part of the night, and glorify Him far into the night. 26 Verily! These (disbelievers) love the present life of this world, and put behind them a heavy Day (that will be hard). 27 We created them and strengthened their joints; and whenever We wish, We can change their faces entirely. 28 This is indeed a Reminder, so that he who will, takes a path to 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 is Merciful to whom He will; but, for the harmdoers He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
