(Muhammad), We have revealed the Quran to you in gradual steps. 23 so be thou patient under the judgment of thy Lord, and obey not one of them, sinner or unbeliever. 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 part of the night adore Him, and give glory to Him (a) long (part of the) night. 26 Surely men love what hastes away and forget the grievous day (ahead). 27 We created them, and We strengthened their joints; and, when We will, We shall exchange their likes. 28 Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 (The virtuous mentioned in this chapter) want only what God wants. God is All-knowing and All-wise. 30 He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy, and for evil-doers hath prepared a painful doom. 31
