(Muhammad), We have revealed the Quran to you in gradual steps. 23 So wait patiently for the command of your Lord and do not yield to any sinful or disbelieving person among them (people). 24 and remember the name of your Lord, morning and evening; 25 And worship Him (a portion) of the night. And glorify Him through the livelong 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 We created them, and We strengthened their joints; and, when We will, We shall exchange their likes. 28 This chapter is a reminder. Let those who want, seek guidance from their Lord. 29 And you do not will except that Allah wills. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. 30 He admits whom He wills into His mercy; but the wrongdoers - He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
