Indeed We have sent down the Qur’an upon you, in stages. 23 Therefore be patient with constancy to the Command of thy Lord, and hearken not to the sinner or the ingrate among them. 24 And glorify the name of your Lord morning and evening. 25 And bow in homage part of the night, and glorify Him far into the night. 26 Indeed, these [disbelievers] love the immediate and leave behind them a grave Day. 27 We have created them and have given them strength. Had We wanted, We could have replaced them with another people like them. 28 This chapter is a reminder. Let those who want, seek guidance from their Lord. 29 But you will not unless God wills; surely God is ever All-knowing, All-wise. 30 For He admits into His mercy whomsoever He will; as for the evildoers, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement. 31
