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 Meditate upon the name of your Lord morning and evening; 25 and during some of the night, and prostrate thyself before Him, and extol His limitless glory throughout the long night. 26 These people (disbelievers) love the worldly life and neglect the terrifying day which will come. 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 But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way]: for, behold, God is indeed all-seeing, wise. 30 He admits whosoever He will to His benevolence. But for the evil-doers He has prepared a painful punishment. 31
