(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 anyone among them who is sinful or ungrateful; 24 Meditate upon the name of your Lord morning and evening; 25 and during the night prostrate ourself before Him, and extol His glory for a long part of the night. 26 Indeed, these [disbelievers] love the immediate and leave behind them a grave Day. 27 We have created them and strengthened their forms, and when We will, We can change their likenesses with [complete] alteration. 28 This surely is a reminder: Therefore whosoever desires may take the way to his Lord. 29 But you will not desire except as God wills. Verily He is all-knowing and all-wise. 30 He maketh whomsoever He listeth to enter His mercy. And the wrong-doers! for them He hath gotten ready a torment afflective. 31
