Verily We! it is We Who have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a gradual revelation. 23 Await, then, in all patience thy Sustainer's judgment, and pay no heed to any of them, who is a wilful sinner or an ingrate; 24 Mention the Name of your Lord, mornings and evenings. 25 And worship Him (a portion) of the night. And glorify Him through the livelong night. 26 As to these, they love the fleeting life, and put away behind them a Day (that will be) hard. 27 We have created them and have given them strength. Had We wanted, We could have replaced them with another people like them. 28 This surely is a reminder: Therefore whosoever desires may take the way to his Lord. 29 But you will not desire except as God wills. Verily He is all-knowing and all-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
