Verily We! it is We Who have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, 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 And remember the name of your Lord morning and evening. 25 And bow in homage part of the night, and glorify Him far into the night. 26 Those people [who are unmindful of God] aspire for immediate gains, and put behind them a Heavy Day. 27 We created them and strengthened their joints; and whenever We wish, We can change their faces entirely. 28 This is indeed an advice; so whoever wishes may take the path towards his Lord. 29 But ye will not, except as Allah wills; for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom. 30 He admits to His Mercy whomsoever He pleases. As for the wrong-doers, He has prepared for them a grievous chastisement. 31
