We have revealed the Qur'an to you gradually; 23 Therefore be patient with constancy to the Command of thy Lord, and hearken not to the sinner or the ingrate among them. 24 And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening, 25 And during part of the night adore Him, and give glory to Him (a) long (part of the) night. 26 Indeed, these [disbelievers] love the immediate and leave behind them a grave Day. 27 We have created them and have given them strength. Had We wanted, We could have replaced them with another people like them. 28 This is a reminder. Let whoever wishes, take the right path to his Lord. 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
