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 patiently for the command of your Lord, and do not yield to anyone among them who is sinful or ungrateful; 24 And remember the name of your Lord morning and evening. 25 And prostrate for Him in a part of the night, and proclaim His purity into the long night. 26 Surely men love what hastes away and forget the grievous day (ahead). 27 It is We Who created them, and strengthened their skeleton; and We can replace them with others like them, whenever We will. 28 Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills; indeed Allah is All Knowing, Wise. 30 He will admit to His Mercy whom He will; But the wrong-doers,- for them has He prepared a grievous Penalty. 31
