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 stay patient upon your Lord’s command, and do not listen to any of the sinners or ingrates among them. 24 Mention the Name of your Lord, mornings and evenings. 25 And bow in homage part of the night, and glorify Him far into the night. 26 Surely men love what hastes away and forget the grievous day (ahead). 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 Surely this is a reminder, so whoever pleases takes to his Lord a way. 29 And you do not please except that Allah please, surely Allah is Knowing, Wise; 30 He admits to His Mercy whomsoever He pleases. As for the wrong-doers, He has prepared for them a grievous chastisement. 31
