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 wait patiently for the command of your Lord, and obey not from among them a sinner or an ungrateful one. 24 and remember the name of your Lord, morning and evening; 25 And bow in homage part of the night, and glorify Him far into the night. 26 Behold, they [who are unmindful of God] love this fleeting life, and leave behind them [all thought of] a grief-laden Day. 27 We created them and made firm their make, and when We please We will bring in their place the likes of them by a change. 28 VERILY, all this is an admonition: whoever, then, so wills, may unto his Sustainer find a way. 29 And ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Verily Allah is ever Knowing, Wise. 30 He is Merciful to whom He will; but, for the harmdoers He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 31
