(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 celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening, 25 and during some of the night, and prostrate thyself before Him, and extol His limitless glory throughout the long night. 26 Lo! these love fleeting life, and put behind them (the remembrance of) a grievous day. 27 It is We Who creared them and made them firm of make. And whenever We list, We can replace them with others like unto them. 28 Indeed, this is a reminder, so he who wills may take to his Lord a way. 29 And you do not will except that Allah wills. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. 30 He admits to His mercy whomever He wants. For the unjust He has prepared a painful punishment. 31
