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 worship Him (a portion) of the night. And glorify Him through the livelong night. 26 As to these, they love the fleeting life, and put away behind them a Day (that will be) hard. 27 We created them and fixed their bones and joints; and We could replace them when We like with others like them. 28 Verily this is an Exhortation; so let him who so will take a way to his Lord. 29 But you cannot will, unless Allah wills. Verily, Allah is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise. 30 He maketh whomsoever He listeth to enter His mercy. And the wrong-doers! for them He hath gotten ready a torment afflective. 31
