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 Await, then, in all patience thy Sustainer's judgment, and pay no heed to any of them, who is a wilful sinner or an ingrate; 24 And mention the name of your Lord [in prayer] morning and evening 25 And during part of the night adore Him, and give glory to Him (a) long (part of the) night. 26 Verily! These (disbelievers) love the present life of this world, and put behind them a heavy Day (that will be hard). 27 We have created them and strengthened their forms, and when We will, We can change their likenesses with [complete] alteration. 28 Verily this is an Exhortation; so let him who so will take a way to his Lord. 29 And you do not please except that Allah please, surely Allah is Knowing, Wise; 30 He admits into His mercy, whomever He wills; and for the unjust He has kept prepared a painful punishment. 31
