(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 anyone among them who is sinful or ungrateful; 24 And remember thou the name of thy Lord in the morning and in the evening. 25 And during the night - worship Him; and hallow Him the livelong night. 26 Behold, they [who are unmindful of God] love this fleeting life, and leave behind them [all thought of] a grief-laden Day. 27 It is We Who created them, and We have made their joints strong; but, when We will, We can substitute the like of them by a complete change. 28 VERILY, all this is an admonition: whoever, then, so wills, may unto his Sustainer find a way. 29 But you will not desire except as God wills. Verily He is all-knowing and all-wise. 30 He admits into His mercy, whomever He wills; and for the unjust He has kept prepared a painful punishment. 31
