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 glorify your Lord morning and evening; 25 And worship Him (a portion) of the night. And glorify Him through the livelong night. 26 These people (disbelievers) love the worldly life and neglect the terrifying day which will come. 27 We created them, and We strengthened their joints; and, when We will, We shall exchange their likes. 28 This surely is a reminder: Therefore whosoever desires may take the way to his Lord. 29 And you do not please except that Allah please, surely Allah is Knowing, Wise; 30 He is Merciful to whom He will; but, for the harmdoers He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
