(Muhammad), We have revealed the Quran to you in gradual steps. 23 So be patient for the decision of your Lord and do not obey from among them a sinner or ungrateful [disbeliever]. 24 And remember the Name of your Lord every morning and afternoon [i.e. offering of the Morning (Fajr), Zuhr, and 'Asr prayers]. 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 was We who created them and made their constitution strong, but if We wish we can replace them with others like them. 28 Surely this is a Reminder; so he who will, takes unto his Lord a way. 29 And you do not please except that Allah please, surely Allah is Knowing, Wise; 30 He makes whom He pleases to enter into His mercy; and (as for) the unjust, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement. 31
