Truly, it is We who have revealed to you the Quran, a gradual revelation. 23 So persevere with the command of your Lord and do not pay any heed to the wicked and the unbelieving, 24 And mention the name of your Lord [in prayer] morning and evening 25 and in the night prostrate to Him; and exalt Him for a long 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 We created them, and We strengthened their joints; and, when We will, We shall exchange their likes. 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
