(Muhammad), We have revealed the Quran to you in gradual steps. 23 So persevere with the command of your Lord and do not pay any heed to the wicked and the unbelieving, 24 And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening, 25 and during the night prostrate ourself before Him, and extol His glory for a long part of the night. 26 Surely these men love the hasty world, and leave be behind them a heavy day. 27 We created them, and We strengthened their joints; and, when We will, We shall exchange their likes. 28 Verily this is an Exhortation; so let him who so will take a way to his Lord. 29 And you do not please except that Allah please, surely Allah is Knowing, Wise; 30 He admits whoever He will into His grace and has prepared a painful punishment for the evil doers. 31
