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 be patient for the decision of your Lord and do not obey from among them a sinner or ungrateful [disbeliever]. 24 Remember the name of thy Lord at morn and evening. 25 And part of the night, prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through. 26 Verily those love the herein, and leave in front of them a heavy day. 27 We created them, and We strengthened their joints; and, when We will, We shall exchange their likes. 28 Verily this is an admonition; then whosoever will, may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 Yet you will not unless Allah wills; surely, Allah is the Knower, the Wise. 30 For He admits into His mercy whomsoever He will; as for the evildoers, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement. 31
