It is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to thee by stages. 23 so be thou patient under the judgment of thy Lord, and obey not one of them, sinner or unbeliever. 24 And, remember the Name of your Lord at the dawn and in the evening; 25 and during some of the night, and prostrate thyself before Him, and extol His limitless glory throughout the long night. 26 Surely men love what hastes away and forget the grievous day (ahead). 27 We created them, and We strengthened their joints; and, when We will, We shall exchange their likes. 28 This is indeed a Reminder, so that he who will, takes a path to his Lord. 29 But you will not desire except as God wills. Verily He is all-knowing and all-wise. 30 He will admit to His Mercy whom He will; But the wrong-doers,- for them has He prepared a grievous Penalty. 31
