Verily We! it is We Who have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a gradual revelation. 23 Wherefore persevere thou with the commandment of thy Lord, and obey not thou of them, any sinner or ingrate. 24 Meditate upon the name of your Lord morning and evening; 25 And during the night prostrate to Him and exalt Him a long [part of the] night. 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 created them, and We strengthened their joints; and, when We will, We shall exchange their likes. 28 This chapter is a reminder. Let those who want, seek guidance from their Lord. 29 But you will not desire except as God wills. Verily He is all-knowing and all-wise. 30 He admits whosoever He will to His benevolence. But for the evil-doers He has prepared a painful punishment. 31
