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 wait patiently for the command of your Lord, and do not yield to anyone among them who is sinful or ungrateful; 24 And remember thou the name of thy Lord in the morning and in the evening. 25 and during some of the night, and prostrate thyself before Him, and extol His limitless glory throughout the long night. 26 Surely these men love the hasty world, and leave be behind them a heavy day. 27 We created them and made firm their make, and when We please We will bring in their place the likes of them by a change. 28 Surely this is a reminder, so whoever pleases takes to his Lord a way. 29 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills; indeed Allah is All Knowing, Wise. 30 He is Merciful to whom He will; but, for the harmdoers He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
