Indeed, it is We who have sent down to you, [O Muhammad], the Qur'an progressively. 23 So wait patiently for the command of your Lord and do not yield to any sinful or disbelieving person among them (people). 24 Meditate upon the name of your Lord morning and evening; 25 And during the night prostrate to Him and exalt Him a long [part of the] night. 26 These people (disbelievers) love the worldly life and neglect the terrifying day which will come. 27 We have created them and have given them strength. Had We wanted, We could have replaced them with another people like them. 28 Verily this is an admonition; then whosoever will, may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 But you will not desire except as God wills. Verily He is all-knowing and all-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
