Indeed We have sent down the Qur’an upon you, in stages. 23 So persevere with the command of your Lord and do not pay any heed to the wicked and the unbelieving, 24 Mention the Name of your Lord, mornings and evenings. 25 Prostrate before Him and glorify Him extensively during the night. 26 Indeed, these [disbelievers] love the immediate and leave behind them a grave Day. 27 We have created them and have given them strength. Had We wanted, We could have replaced them with another people like them. 28 VERILY, all this is an admonition: whoever, then, so wills, may unto his Sustainer find a way. 29 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way]: for, behold, God is indeed all-seeing, wise. 30 He maketh whomsoever He listeth to enter His mercy. And the wrong-doers! for them He hath gotten ready a torment afflective. 31
