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 persevere with the command of your Lord and do not pay any heed to the wicked and the unbelieving, 24 and remember 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 Surely these men love the hasty world, and leave be behind them a heavy day. 27 It was We who created them and made their constitution strong, but if We wish we can replace them with others like them. 28 This chapter is a reminder. Let those who want, seek guidance from their Lord. 29 But ye will not, except as Allah wills; for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom. 30 He will admit to His Mercy whom He will and as for the Zalimun, (polytheists, wrong-doers, etc.) He has prepared a painful torment. 31
