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 glorify the name of your Lord morning and evening. 25 Prostrate before Him and glorify Him extensively during the night. 26 Lo! these love fleeting life, and put behind them (the remembrance of) a grievous day. 27 We have created them and have given them strength. Had We wanted, We could have replaced them with another people like them. 28 This chapter is a reminder. Let those who want, seek guidance from their Lord. 29 But your willing shall be of no avail until Allah Himself so wills. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, Most Wise. 30 He will admit to His Mercy whom He will and as for the Zalimun, (polytheists, wrong-doers, etc.) He has prepared a painful torment. 31
