Truly, it is We who have revealed to you the Quran, a gradual revelation. 23 Therefore stay patient upon your Lord’s command, and do not listen to any of the sinners or ingrates among them. 24 Remember the name of thy Lord at morn and evening. 25 And worship Him (a portion) of the night. And glorify Him through the livelong night. 26 Lo! these love fleeting life, and put behind them (the remembrance of) a grievous day. 27 [They will not admit to themselves that] it We who have created them and strengthened their make - and [that] if it be Our will We can replace them entirely with others of their kind. 28 VERILY, all this is an admonition: whoever, then, so wills, may unto his Sustainer find a way. 29 (The virtuous mentioned in this chapter) want only what God wants. God is All-knowing and All-wise. 30 He admits to His Mercy whomsoever He pleases. As for the wrong-doers, He has prepared for them a grievous chastisement. 31
