Truly, it is We who have revealed to you the Quran, a gradual revelation. 23 So be patient for the decision of your Lord and do not obey from among them a sinner or ungrateful [disbeliever]. 24 And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening, 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 created them, and We strengthened their joints; and, when We will, We shall exchange their likes. 28 This is a reminder. Let whoever wishes, take the right path to his Lord. 29 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way]: for, behold, God is indeed all-seeing, wise. 30 For He admits into His mercy whomsoever He will; as for the evildoers, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement. 31
