(Muhammad), We have revealed the Quran to you in gradual steps. 23 Therefore be patient with constancy to the Command of thy Lord, and hearken not to the sinner or the ingrate among them. 24 and remember the name of your Lord, morning and evening; 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 [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 This chapter is a reminder. Let those who want, seek guidance from their Lord. 29 But you will not unless God wills; surely God is ever All-knowing, All-wise. 30 For He admits into His mercy whomsoever He will; as for the evildoers, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement. 31
