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 glorify 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 Indeed, these love the hasty life, and are heedless and leave behind them a heavy Day. 27 We created them, and We strengthened their joints, but, when We will, We shall indeed exchange their likes. 28 Verily this is an admonition; then 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 He admits into His mercy, whomever He wills; and for the unjust He has kept prepared a painful punishment. 31
