It is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to thee by stages. 23 Therefore wait patiently for the command of your Lord, and obey not from among them a sinner or an ungrateful one. 24 and remember the name of your Lord, morning and evening; 25 and prostrate yourself before Him at night, and extol His Glory during the long watches of the night. 26 Indeed, these love the hasty life, and are heedless and leave behind them a heavy Day. 27 We created them, and We strengthened their joints; and, when We will, We shall exchange their likes. 28 This is indeed an advice; so whoever wishes may take the path towards his Lord. 29 Yet you will not unless Allah wills; surely, Allah is the Knower, the Wise. 30 He admits whosoever He will to His benevolence. But for the evil-doers He has prepared a painful punishment. 31
