VERILY, [O believer,] it is We who have bestowed from on high this Qur'an upon thee, step by step - truly a bestowal from on high! 23 So be patient for the decision of your Lord and do not obey from among them a sinner or ungrateful [disbeliever]. 24 and bear in mind thy Sustainer's name at morn and evening 25 And bow in homage part of the night, and glorify Him far into the night. 26 Lo! these love fleeting life, and put behind them (the remembrance of) a grievous day. 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, all this is an admonition: whoever, then, so wills, may unto his Sustainer find a way. 29 And ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Verily Allah is ever Knowing, Wise. 30 He admits unto His grace everyone who wills [to be admitted]; but as for the evildoers - for them has He readied grievous suffering [in the life to come]. 31
