Verily We! it is We Who have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a gradual revelation. 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 created them, and We have made them of strong built. And when We will, We can replace them with others like them with a complete replacement. 28 Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 But your willing shall be of no avail until Allah Himself so wills. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, Most Wise. 30 He admits whoever He will into His grace and has prepared a painful punishment for the evil doers. 31
