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 be patient under the Judgement of your Lord, and do not obey either the sinner or the unbeliever. 24 and bear in mind thy Sustainer's name at morn and evening 25 Prostrate before Him and glorify Him extensively during the night. 26 Surely men love what hastes away and forget the grievous day (ahead). 27 We created them and strengthened their joints; and whenever We wish, We can change their faces entirely. 28 This surely is a reminder: Therefore whosoever desires may take the way to his Lord. 29 But you cannot will, unless Allah wills. Verily, Allah is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise. 30 He makes whom He pleases to enter into His mercy; and (as for) the unjust, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement. 31
