(Muhammad), We have revealed the Quran to you in gradual steps. 23 so be thou patient under the judgment of thy Lord, and obey not one of them, sinner or unbeliever. 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 during the night prostrate to Him and exalt Him a long [part of the] night. 26 Indeed these people love what they have, the fleeting one, and have forsaken the immensely important day behind them. 27 We created them, and We strengthened their joints, but, when We will, We shall indeed exchange their likes. 28 This surely is a reminder: Therefore whosoever desires may take the way to his Lord. 29 And you do not will except that Allah wills. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. 30 He will admit to His Mercy whom He will; But the wrong-doers,- for them has He prepared a grievous Penalty. 31
