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 Mention the Name of your Lord, mornings and evenings. 25 and during some of the night, and prostrate thyself before Him, and extol His limitless glory throughout the long night. 26 Indeed these people love what they have, the fleeting one, and have forsaken the immensely important day behind them. 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 This is an admonition: Whosoever will, let him take a (straight) Path to his Lord. 29 Yet you will not unless Allah wills; surely, Allah is the Knower, the Wise. 30 He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy, and for evil-doers hath prepared a painful doom. 31
