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 stay patient upon your Lord’s command, and do not listen to any of the sinners or ingrates among them. 24 And remember the Name of thy Lord at dawn and in the evening 25 And worship Him (a portion) of the night. And glorify Him through the livelong night. 26 Surely these love the transitory and neglect a grievous day before them. 27 We created them, and We strengthened their joints, but, when We will, We shall indeed exchange their likes. 28 This is an admonition: Whosoever will, let him take a (straight) Path to his Lord. 29 But ye will not, except as Allah wills; for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom. 30 He admits whoever He will into His grace and has prepared a painful punishment for the evil doers. 31
