Indeed, it is We who have sent down to you, [O Muhammad], the Qur'an progressively. 23 So wait patiently for the command of your Lord, and do not yield to anyone among them who is sinful or ungrateful; 24 Mention the Name of your Lord, mornings and evenings. 25 and prostrate yourself before Him at night, and extol His Glory during the long watches of the 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 We created them, and We strengthened their joints, but, when We will, We shall indeed exchange their likes. 28 This surely is a reminder: Therefore whosoever desires may take the way to his Lord. 29 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills; indeed Allah is All Knowing, Wise. 30 He admits into His mercy, whomever He wills; and for the unjust He has kept prepared a painful punishment. 31
