(Muhammad), We have revealed the Quran to you in gradual steps. 23 So wait patiently for the command of your Lord and do not yield to any sinful or disbelieving person among them (people). 24 And glorify the name of your Lord morning and evening. 25 And during the night prostrate to Him and exalt Him a long [part of the] night. 26 Indeed these people love what they have, the fleeting one, and have forsaken the immensely important day behind them. 27 We created them, and We strengthened their joints, but, when We will, We shall indeed exchange their likes. 28 Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 And ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Verily Allah is ever Knowing, Wise. 30 He admits whoever He will into His grace and has prepared a painful punishment for the evil doers. 31
