We have revealed the Qur'an to you gradually; 23 So persevere with the command of your Lord and do not pay any heed to the wicked and the unbelieving, 24 And, remember the Name of your Lord at the dawn and in the evening; 25 And bow in homage part of the night, and glorify Him far into the night. 26 Surely men love what hastes away and forget the grievous day (ahead). 27 It was We who created them and made their constitution strong, but if We wish we can replace them with others like them. 28 Verily this is an admonition; then whosoever will, may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way]: for, behold, God is indeed all-seeing, wise. 30 He is Merciful to whom He will; but, for the harmdoers He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
