(Muhammad), We have revealed the Quran to you in gradual steps. 23 So wait patiently for the command of your Lord, and do not yield to anyone among them who is sinful or ungrateful; 24 And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening, 25 And worship Him (a portion) of the night. And glorify Him through the livelong night. 26 Those people [who are unmindful of God] aspire for immediate gains, and put behind them a Heavy Day. 27 We have created them and strengthened their forms, and when We will, We can change their likenesses with [complete] alteration. 28 VERILY, all this is an admonition: whoever, then, so wills, may unto his Sustainer find a way. 29 (The virtuous mentioned in this chapter) want only what God wants. God is All-knowing and All-wise. 30 He maketh whomsoever He listeth to enter His mercy. And the wrong-doers! for them He hath gotten ready a torment afflective. 31
