It is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to thee by stages. 23 therefore be patient under the Judgement of your Lord, and do not obey either the sinner or the unbeliever. 24 And mention the name of your Lord [in prayer] morning and evening 25 And part of the night, prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through. 26 Behold, they [who are unmindful of God] love this fleeting life, and leave behind them [all thought of] a grief-laden Day. 27 We have created them and strengthened their forms, and when We will, We can change their likenesses with [complete] alteration. 28 This is a reminder. Let whoever wishes, take the right path to his Lord. 29 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way] -- God is indeed all-knowing and wise -- 30 For He admits into His mercy whomsoever He will; as for the evildoers, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement. 31
