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, remember the Name of your Lord at the dawn and in the evening; 25 And prostrate for Him in a part of the night, and proclaim His purity into the long night. 26 Surely these love the transitory and neglect a grievous day before them. 27 It is We Who created them, and We have made them of strong built. And when We will, We can replace them with others like them with a complete replacement. 28 This chapter is a reminder. Let those who want, seek guidance from their Lord. 29 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way] -- God is indeed all-knowing and wise -- 30 He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy, and for evil-doers hath prepared a painful doom. 31
