Indeed We have sent down the Qur’an upon you, in stages. 23 So wait patiently for the command of your Lord and do not yield to any sinful or disbelieving person among them (people). 24 And remember the Name of your Lord every morning and afternoon [i.e. offering of the Morning (Fajr), Zuhr, and 'Asr prayers]. 25 and during the night prostrate ourself before Him, and extol His glory for a long part 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 strengthened their joints; and whenever We wish, We can change their faces entirely. 28 Surely this is a Reminder; so he who will, takes unto his Lord a way. 29 And you do not please except that Allah please, surely Allah is Knowing, Wise; 30 He admits to His Mercy whomsoever He pleases. As for the wrong-doers, He has prepared for them a grievous chastisement. 31
