It is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to thee by stages. 23 Therefore stay patient upon your Lord’s command, and do not listen to any of the sinners or ingrates among them. 24 and remember the name of your Lord, morning and evening; 25 and prostrate yourself before Him at night, and extol His Glory during the long watches of the night. 26 Verily! These (disbelievers) love the present life of this world, and put behind them a heavy Day (that will be hard). 27 [They will not admit to themselves that] it We who have created them and strengthened their make - and [that] if it be Our will We can replace them entirely with others of their kind. 28 Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 And you do not please except that Allah please, surely Allah is Knowing, Wise; 30 He admits into His mercy, whomever He wills; and for the unjust He has kept prepared a painful punishment. 31
