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 remember the Name of your Lord every morning and afternoon [i.e. offering of the Morning (Fajr), Zuhr, and 'Asr prayers]. 25 and during some of the night, and prostrate thyself before Him, and extol His limitless glory throughout the long night. 26 These people (disbelievers) love the worldly life and neglect the terrifying day which will come. 27 We have created them and strengthened their forms, and when We will, We can change their likenesses with [complete] alteration. 28 This is indeed a Reminder, so that he who will, takes a path to his Lord. 29 And you do not please except that Allah please, surely Allah is Knowing, Wise; 30 He maketh whomsoever He listeth to enter His mercy. And the wrong-doers! for them He hath gotten ready a torment afflective. 31
