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 remember the name of your Lord morning and evening. 25 and in the night prostrate to Him; and exalt Him for a long 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 This is a reminder. Let whoever wishes, take the right path to his Lord. 29 But you cannot will, unless Allah wills. Verily, Allah is Ever All-Knowing, All-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
