Verily We! it is We Who have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a gradual revelation. 23 So persevere with the command of your Lord and do not pay any heed to the wicked and the unbelieving, 24 and bear in mind thy Sustainer's name at morn and evening 25 and in the night prostrate to Him; and exalt Him for a long night. 26 Those people [who are unmindful of God] aspire for immediate gains, and put behind them a Heavy Day. 27 We created them and strengthened their joints; and whenever We wish, We can change their faces entirely. 28 Surely this is a reminder, so whoever pleases takes to his Lord a way. 29 Yet ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise. 30 He admits whoever He will into His grace and has prepared a painful punishment for the evil doers. 31
