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 for your Lord's command, and do not follow any sinner or disbeliever among them. 24 And, remember the Name of your Lord at the dawn and in the evening; 25 And during the night prostrate to Him and exalt Him a long [part of the] night. 26 Surely these men love the hasty world, and leave be behind them a heavy day. 27 It was We who created them and made their constitution strong, but if We wish we can replace them with others like them. 28 This is a reminder. Let whoever wishes, take the right path to his Lord. 29 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way] -- God is indeed all-knowing and wise -- 30 He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy, and for evil-doers hath prepared a painful doom. 31
