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 Meditate upon the name of your Lord morning and evening; 25 And part of the night, prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through. 26 Those people [who are unmindful of God] aspire for immediate gains, and put behind them a Heavy Day. 27 We have created them and strengthened their forms, and when We will, We can change their likenesses with [complete] alteration. 28 This is a reminder. Let whoever wishes, take the right path to his Lord. 29 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way]: for, behold, God is indeed all-seeing, wise. 30 He admits to His Mercy whomsoever He pleases. As for the wrong-doers, He has prepared for them a grievous chastisement. 31
