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 Remember the name of thy Lord at morn and evening. 25 And part of the night, prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through. 26 Indeed, these love the hasty life, and are heedless and leave behind them a heavy Day. 27 We have created them and have given them strength. Had We wanted, We could have replaced them with another people like them. 28 Indeed, this is a reminder, so he who wills may take to his Lord a way. 29 But you will not desire except as God wills. Verily He is all-knowing and all-wise. 30 He admits whoever He will into His grace and has prepared a painful punishment for the evil doers. 31
