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 Mention the Name of your Lord, mornings and evenings. 25 And during part of the night adore Him, and give glory to Him (a) long (part of the) night. 26 Surely men love what hastes away and forget the grievous day (ahead). 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 This surely is a reminder: Therefore whosoever desires may take the way to his Lord. 29 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way]: for, behold, God is indeed all-seeing, wise. 30 He admits whosoever He will to His benevolence. But for the evil-doers He has prepared a painful punishment. 31
