(Muhammad), We have revealed the Quran to you in gradual steps. 23 Therefore stay patient upon your Lord’s command, and do not listen to any of the sinners or ingrates among them. 24 Meditate upon the name of your Lord morning and evening; 25 And during part of the night adore Him, and give glory to Him (a) long (part 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 is an admonition: Whosoever will, let him take a (straight) Path to his Lord. 29 But you cannot will, unless Allah wills. Verily, Allah 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
