It is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to thee by stages. 23 Therefore be patient with constancy to the Command of thy Lord, and hearken not to the sinner or the ingrate among them. 24 And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening, 25 and during some of the night, and prostrate thyself before Him, and extol His limitless glory throughout the long night. 26 Surely these love the transitory and neglect a grievous day before them. 27 We have created them and strengthened their forms, and when We will, We can change their likenesses with [complete] alteration. 28 This surely is a reminder: Therefore whosoever desires may take the way to his Lord. 29 And ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Verily Allah is ever Knowing, Wise. 30 He admits whosoever He will to His benevolence. But for the evil-doers He has prepared a painful punishment. 31
