Truly, it is We who have revealed to you the Quran, a gradual revelation. 23 Therefore stay patient upon your Lord’s command, and do not listen to any of the sinners or ingrates among them. 24 And remember the name of your Lord morning and evening. 25 and during the night prostrate ourself before Him, and extol His glory for a long part of the night. 26 Verily! These (disbelievers) love the present life of this world, and put behind them a heavy Day (that will be hard). 27 [They will not admit to themselves that] it We who have created them and strengthened their make - and [that] if it be Our will We can replace them entirely with others of their kind. 28 This is indeed an advice; so whoever wishes may take the path towards his Lord. 29 But you will not desire except as God wills. Verily He is all-knowing and all-wise. 30 He admits to His Mercy whomsoever He pleases. As for the wrong-doers, He has prepared for them a grievous chastisement. 31
