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 be thou patient under the judgment of thy Lord, and obey not one of them, sinner or unbeliever. 24 Meditate upon the name of your Lord morning and evening; 25 and during the night prostrate ourself before Him, and extol His glory for a long part of the night. 26 These people (disbelievers) love the worldly life and neglect the terrifying day which will come. 27 It is We Who created them, and strengthened their skeleton; and We can replace them with others like them, whenever We will. 28 VERILY, all this is an admonition: whoever, then, so wills, may unto his Sustainer find a way. 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
