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 submit patiently to thy Lord's command, and obey not of them any guilty one or disbeliever. 24 Mention the Name of your Lord, mornings and evenings. 25 And during part of the night adore Him, and give glory to Him (a) long (part of the) night. 26 These people (disbelievers) love the worldly life and neglect the terrifying day which will come. 27 We have created them and have given them strength. Had We wanted, We could have replaced them with another people like them. 28 This surely is a reminder: Therefore whosoever desires may take the way to his Lord. 29 But ye will not, except as Allah wills; for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom. 30 He admits unto His grace everyone who wills [to be admitted]; but as for the evildoers - for them has He readied grievous suffering [in the life to come]. 31
