Verily! It is We Who have sent down the Quran to you (O Muhammad SAW) by stages. 23 Wherefore persevere thou with the commandment of thy Lord, and obey not thou of them, any sinner or ingrate. 24 And remember the Name of thy Lord at dawn and in the evening 25 and during some of the night, and prostrate thyself before Him, and extol His limitless glory throughout the long night. 26 As to these, they love the fleeting life, and put away behind them a Day (that will be) hard. 27 We have created them and have given them strength. Had We wanted, We could have replaced them with another people like them. 28 Verily this is an admonition; then whosoever will, may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 And you do not will except that Allah wills. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. 30 He admits into His mercy, whomever He wills; and for the unjust He has kept prepared a painful punishment. 31
