We have revealed the Qur'an to you gradually; 23 Therefore stay patient upon your Lord’s command, and do not listen to any of the sinners or ingrates among them. 24 and bear in mind thy Sustainer's name at morn and evening 25 And during the night prostrate to Him and exalt Him a long [part of the] night. 26 Lo! these love fleeting life, and put behind them (the remembrance of) a grievous day. 27 We created them and made firm their make, and when We please We will bring in their place the likes of them by a change. 28 This is a reminder. Let whoever wishes, take the right path to his Lord. 29 But ye will not, except as Allah wills; for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom. 30 He is Merciful to whom He will; but, for the harmdoers He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
