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 wait patiently for the command of your Lord and do not yield to any sinful or disbelieving person among them (people). 24 And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening, 25 And during part of the night adore Him, and give glory to Him (a) long (part of the) night. 26 Indeed, these love the hasty life, and are heedless and leave behind them a heavy Day. 27 We created them, and We strengthened their joints; and, when We will, We shall exchange their likes. 28 Verily this is an Exhortation; so let him who so will take a way to his Lord. 29 (The virtuous mentioned in this chapter) want only what God wants. God is All-knowing and All-wise. 30 He will admit to His Mercy whom He will; But the wrong-doers,- for them has He prepared a grievous Penalty. 31
