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 for your Lord's command, and do not follow any sinner or disbeliever among them. 24 and glorify your Lord morning and evening; 25 Prostrate before Him and glorify Him extensively during the night. 26 Indeed, these [disbelievers] love the immediate and leave behind them a grave Day. 27 It was We who created them and made their constitution strong, but if We wish we can replace them with others like them. 28 Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto 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
