(Muhammad), We have revealed the Quran to you in gradual steps. 23 therefore be patient under the Judgement of your Lord, and do not obey either the sinner or the unbeliever. 24 And, remember the Name of your Lord at the dawn and in the evening; 25 And during part of the night adore Him, and give glory to Him (a) long (part of the) night. 26 As to these, they love the fleeting life, and put away behind them a Day (that will be) hard. 27 It was We who created them and made their constitution strong, but if We wish we can replace them with others like them. 28 This surely is a reminder: Therefore whosoever desires may take the way to his Lord. 29 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way] -- God is indeed all-knowing and wise -- 30 He maketh whomsoever He listeth to enter His mercy. And the wrong-doers! for them He hath gotten ready a torment afflective. 31
