(Muhammad), We have revealed the Quran to you in gradual steps. 23 so be thou patient under the judgment of thy Lord, and obey not one of them, sinner or unbeliever. 24 And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening, 25 And worship Him (a portion) of the night. And glorify Him through the livelong night. 26 Behold, they [who are unmindful of God] love this fleeting life, and leave behind them [all thought of] a grief-laden Day. 27 It is We Who created them, and strengthened their skeleton; and We can replace them with others like them, whenever We will. 28 Verily this is an Exhortation; so let him who so will take a way to his Lord. 29 And ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Verily Allah is ever Knowing, Wise. 30 He admits whosoever He will to His benevolence. But for the evil-doers He has prepared a painful punishment. 31
