Surely We Ourselves have revealed the Quran to you revealing (it) in portions. 23 Therefore stay patient upon your Lord’s command, and do not listen to any of the sinners or ingrates among them. 24 and glorify 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 It was We who created them and made their constitution strong, but if We wish we can replace them with others like them. 28 This surely is a reminder: Therefore whosoever desires may take the way to 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 makes whom He pleases to enter into His mercy; and (as for) the unjust, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement. 31
