Verily We! it is We Who have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a gradual revelation. 23 Therefore stay patient upon your Lord’s command, and do not listen to any of the sinners or ingrates among them. 24 And remember the name of your Lord morning and evening. 25 and during some of the night, and prostrate thyself before Him, and extol His limitless glory throughout the long night. 26 These people (disbelievers) love the worldly life and neglect the terrifying day which will come. 27 We, even We, created them, and strengthened their frame. And when We will, We can replace them, bringing others like them in their stead. 28 This is indeed a Reminder, so that he who will, takes a path 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 admits to His mercy whomever He wants. For the unjust He has prepared a painful punishment. 31
