Indeed We have sent down the Qur’an upon you, in 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 glorify the name of your Lord morning and evening. 25 and part of the night; bow down before Him and magnify Him through the long night. 26 As to these, they love the fleeting life, and put away behind them a Day (that will be) hard. 27 It is We Who created them, and strengthened their skeleton; and We can replace them with others like them, whenever We will. 28 This is indeed an advice; so whoever wishes may take the path towards his Lord. 29 And you do not please except that Allah please, surely Allah is Knowing, Wise; 30 He is Merciful to whom He will; but, for the harmdoers He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
