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 submit patiently to thy Lord's command, and obey not of them any guilty one or disbeliever. 24 And remember the Name of your Lord every morning and afternoon [i.e. offering of the Morning (Fajr), Zuhr, and 'Asr prayers]. 25 and part of the night; bow down before Him and magnify Him through the long night. 26 Verily! These (disbelievers) love the present life of this world, and put behind them a heavy Day (that will be hard). 27 It is We Who creared them and made them firm of make. And whenever We list, We can replace them with others like unto them. 28 Indeed, this is a reminder, so he who wills may take to his Lord a way. 29 But your willing shall be of no avail until Allah Himself so wills. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, Most Wise. 30 He admits to His mercy whomever He wants. For the unjust He has prepared a painful punishment. 31
