Truly, it is We who have revealed to you the Quran, 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 And remember the Name of your Lord every morning and afternoon [i.e. offering of the Morning (Fajr), Zuhr, and 'Asr prayers]. 25 And part of the night, prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through. 26 Those people [who are unmindful of God] aspire for immediate gains, and put behind them a Heavy Day. 27 We, even We, created them, and strengthened their frame. And when We will, We can replace them, bringing others like them in their stead. 28 Verily this is an admonition; then whosoever will, may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 But you will not desire except as God wills. Verily He 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
