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 Therefore be patient with constancy to the Command of thy Lord, and hearken not to the sinner or the ingrate among them. 24 Meditate upon the name of your Lord morning and evening; 25 and part of the night; bow down before Him and magnify Him through the long night. 26 Surely men love what hastes away and forget the grievous day (ahead). 27 We created them and fixed their bones and joints; and We could replace them when We like with others like them. 28 This is a reminder. Let whoever wishes, take the right path to his Lord. 29 But ye will not, except as Allah wills; for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom. 30 For He admits into His mercy whomsoever He will; as for the evildoers, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement. 31
