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 therefore be patient under the Judgement of your Lord, and do not obey either the sinner or the unbeliever. 24 And, remember the Name of your Lord at the dawn and in the evening; 25 And prostrate for Him in a part of the night, and proclaim His purity into the long night. 26 As to these, they love the fleeting life, and put away behind them a Day (that will be) hard. 27 It is We Who created them, and We have made their joints strong; but, when We will, We can substitute the like of them by a complete change. 28 Verily this is an Exhortation; so let him who so will take a way to his Lord. 29 But ye will not, except as Allah wills; for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom. 30 He is Merciful to whom He will; but, for the harmdoers He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
