Verily We! it is We Who have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a gradual revelation. 23 Therefore wait patiently for the command of your Lord, and obey not from among them a sinner or an ungrateful one. 24 And mention the name of your Lord [in prayer] morning and evening 25 And bow in homage part of the night, and glorify Him far into the night. 26 Those people [who are unmindful of God] aspire for immediate gains, and put behind them a Heavy Day. 27 We created them, and We strengthened their joints, but, when We will, We shall indeed exchange their likes. 28 This chapter is a reminder. Let those who want, seek guidance from their Lord. 29 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way] -- God is indeed all-knowing and wise -- 30 He maketh whomsoever He listeth to enter His mercy. And the wrong-doers! for them He hath gotten ready a torment afflective. 31
