Verily We! it is We Who have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a gradual revelation. 23 So wait patiently for the command of your Lord and do not yield to any sinful or disbelieving person among them (people). 24 And remember the Name of your Lord every morning and afternoon [i.e. offering of the Morning (Fajr), Zuhr, and 'Asr prayers]. 25 And during the night prostrate to Him and exalt Him a long [part of the] night. 26 Indeed, these [disbelievers] love the immediate and leave behind them a grave Day. 27 It is We Who created them, and We have made them of strong built. And when We will, We can replace them with others like them with a complete replacement. 28 VERILY, all this is an admonition: whoever, then, so wills, may unto his Sustainer find a way. 29 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way]: for, behold, God is indeed all-seeing, wise. 30 He admits to His Mercy whomsoever He pleases. As for the wrong-doers, He has prepared for them a grievous chastisement. 31
