Verily We! it is We Who have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a gradual revelation. 23 So persevere with the command of your Lord and do not pay any heed to the wicked and the unbelieving, 24 Mention the Name of your Lord, mornings and evenings. 25 and prostrate yourself before Him at night, and extol His Glory during the long watches of the night. 26 Surely these love the transitory and neglect a grievous day before them. 27 We created them and strengthened their joints; and whenever We wish, We can change their faces entirely. 28 Verily this is an Exhortation; so let him who so will take a way to his Lord. 29 But your willing shall be of no avail until Allah Himself so wills. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, Most Wise. 30 He admits into His mercy, whomever He wills; and for the unjust He has kept prepared a painful punishment. 31
