It is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to thee by 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 Meditate upon the name of your Lord morning and evening; 25 and in the night prostrate to Him; and exalt Him for a long 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 We created them, and We strengthened their joints; and, when We will, We shall exchange their likes. 28 Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way] -- God is indeed all-knowing and wise -- 30 He admits unto His grace everyone who wills [to be admitted]; but as for the evildoers - for them has He readied grievous suffering [in the life to come]. 31
