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 be patient with constancy to the Command of thy Lord, and hearken not to the sinner or the ingrate among them. 24 Mention the Name of your Lord, mornings and evenings. 25 and in the night prostrate to Him; and exalt Him for a long night. 26 Indeed, these love the hasty life, and are heedless and leave behind them a heavy Day. 27 It is We Who created them, and We have made their joints strong; but, when We will, We can substitute the like of them by a complete change. 28 This chapter is a reminder. Let those who want, seek guidance from their 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
