Verily! It is We Who have sent down the Quran to you (O Muhammad SAW) by stages. 23 Wherefore persevere thou with the commandment of thy Lord, and obey not thou of them, any sinner or ingrate. 24 And glorify the name of your Lord morning and evening. 25 and during the night prostrate ourself before Him, and extol His glory for a long part of the night. 26 Verily they love (the good of this world) that is hastily obtainable and are oblivious of the burdensome Day ahead of them. 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 Yet ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise. 30 He makes whom He pleases to enter into His mercy; and (as for) the unjust, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement. 31
