We have revealed the Qur'an to you gradually; 23 Wherefore persevere thou with the commandment of thy Lord, and obey not thou of them, any sinner or ingrate. 24 And glorify the name of your Lord morning and evening. 25 And bow in homage part of the night, and glorify Him far into 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, but, when We will, We shall indeed exchange their likes. 28 Verily this is an admonition; then whosoever will, may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 Yet ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise. 30 He admits whom He wills into His mercy; but the wrongdoers - He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
