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 Wherefore persevere thou with the commandment of thy Lord, and obey not thou of them, any sinner or ingrate. 24 And remember thou the name of thy Lord in the morning and in the evening. 25 and part of the night; bow down before Him and magnify Him through the long night. 26 These people (disbelievers) love the worldly life and neglect the terrifying day which will come. 27 We created them and fixed their bones and joints; and We could replace them when We like with others like them. 28 Verily this is an admonition; then whosoever will, may choose a way unto his Lord. 29 But you will not unless God wills; surely God is ever All-knowing, All-wise. 30 He admits into His mercy, whomever He wills; and for the unjust He has kept prepared a painful punishment. 31
