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 stay patient upon your Lord’s command, and do not listen to any of the sinners or ingrates among them. 24 and remember 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 Those people [who are unmindful of God] aspire for immediate gains, and put behind them a Heavy Day. 27 It is We Who creared them and made them firm of make. And whenever We list, We can replace them with others like unto them. 28 Surely this is a reminder, so whoever pleases takes to his Lord a way. 29 And ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Verily Allah is ever Knowing, Wise. 30 He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy, and for evil-doers hath prepared a painful doom. 31
