Verily! It is We Who have sent down the Quran to you (O Muhammad SAW) by stages. 23 So persevere with the command of your Lord and do not pay any heed to the wicked and the unbelieving, 24 And glorify the name of your Lord morning and evening. 25 And bow in homage part of the night, and glorify Him far into 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 have created them and have given them strength. Had We wanted, We could have replaced them with another people like them. 28 Indeed, this is a reminder, so he who wills may take to his Lord a way. 29 (The virtuous mentioned in this chapter) want only what God wants. God is All-knowing and All-wise. 30 He admits whom He wills into His mercy; but the wrongdoers - He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
