Verily We! it is We Who have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a gradual revelation. 23 So wait patiently for the command of your Lord and do not yield to any sinful or disbelieving person among them (people). 24 Mention the Name of your Lord, mornings and evenings. 25 And prostrate for Him in a part of the night, and proclaim His purity into the long night. 26 Lo! these love fleeting life, and put behind them (the remembrance of) a grievous day. 27 It is We Who created them, and We have made them of strong built. And when We will, We can replace them with others like them with a complete replacement. 28 Verily this is an admonition; then whosoever will, may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way]: for, behold, God is indeed all-seeing, wise. 30 He admits into His mercy, whomever He wills; and for the unjust He has kept prepared a painful punishment. 31
