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 patient for the decision of your Lord and do not obey from among them a sinner or ungrateful [disbeliever]. 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 Verily! These (disbelievers) love the present life of this world, and put behind them a heavy Day (that will be hard). 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 Verily this is an Exhortation; so let him who so will take a way to his Lord. 29 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills; indeed Allah is All Knowing, Wise. 30 He admits whosoever He will to His benevolence. But for the evil-doers He has prepared a painful punishment. 31
