Translation of Verse 23-31

23. Indeed, it is We Who have revealed the Quran to you ˹O Prophet˺ in stages.

24. So be patient with your Lord's decree, and do not yield to any evildoer or ˹staunch˺ disbeliever from among them.

25. ˹Always˺ remember the Name of your Lord morning and evening,

26. and prostrate before Him during part of the night, ¹²⁶⁵ and glorify Him long at night. ¹²⁶⁶

27. Surely those ˹pagans˺ love this fleeting world, ˹totally˺ neglecting a weighty Day ahead of them.

28. It is We Who created them and perfected their ˹physical˺ form. But if We will, We can easily replace them with others.

29. Surely this is a reminder. So let whoever wills take the ˹Right˺ Way to their Lord.

30. But you cannot will ˹to do so˺ unless Allah wills. Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

31. He admits whoever He wills into His mercy. As for the wrongdoers, He has prepared for them a painful punishment
