Truly, it is We who have revealed to you the Quran, 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 mention the name of your Lord [in prayer] morning and evening 25 And during the night prostrate to Him and exalt Him a long [part of the] night. 26 Indeed these people love what they have, the fleeting one, and have forsaken the immensely important day behind them. 27 It is We Who created them, and We have made their joints strong; but, when We will, We can substitute the like of them by a complete change. 28 Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 But you cannot will, unless Allah wills. Verily, Allah is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise. 30 He is Merciful to whom He will; but, for the harmdoers He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
