Truly, it is We who have revealed to you the Quran, a gradual revelation. 23 Wherefore persevere thou with the commandment of thy Lord, and obey not thou of them, any sinner or ingrate. 24 and glorify your Lord morning and evening; 25 And worship Him (a portion) of the night. And glorify Him through the livelong night. 26 Indeed, these love the hasty life, and are heedless and leave behind them a heavy 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 whom He wills into His mercy; but the wrongdoers - He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
