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 with constancy to the Command of thy Lord, and hearken not to the sinner or the ingrate among them. 24 And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening, 25 And during night, prostrate yourself to Him (i.e. the offering of Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers), and glorify Him a long night through (i.e. Tahajjud prayer). 26 Indeed, these [disbelievers] love the immediate and leave behind them a grave Day. 27 We have created them and strengthened their forms, and when We will, We can change their likenesses with [complete] alteration. 28 Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 And you do not please except that Allah please, surely Allah is Knowing, Wise; 30 He makes whom He pleases to enter into His mercy; and (as for) the unjust, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement. 31
