We have revealed the Qur'an to you gradually; 23 So persevere with the command of your Lord and do not pay any heed to the wicked and the unbelieving, 24 Meditate upon the name of your 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 Surely these men love the hasty world, and leave be behind them a heavy day. 27 We created them, and We strengthened their joints; and, when We will, We shall exchange their likes. 28 Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 And you do not please except that Allah please, surely Allah is Knowing, Wise; 30 He admits whosoever He will to His benevolence. But for the evil-doers He has prepared a painful punishment. 31
