(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 glorify your Lord morning and evening; 25 Prostrate before Him and glorify Him extensively during the night. 26 Behold, they [who are unmindful of God] love this fleeting life, and leave behind them [all thought of] a grief-laden Day. 27 It is We Who created them, and strengthened their skeleton; and We can replace them with others like them, whenever We will. 28 This surely is a reminder: Therefore whosoever desires may take the way to his Lord. 29 And you do not please except that Allah please, surely Allah is Knowing, Wise; 30 He makes whom He pleases to enter into His mercy; and (as for) the unjust, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement. 31
