And indeed We created towers in the skies, and beautified it for the beholders. 16 And We have guarded it (near heaven) from every outcast Shaitan (devil). 17 Except the ones who listen on the sly, yet they are chased away by a shooting flame. 18 And the earth - We have spread it out wide, and placed on it mountains firm, and caused [life] of every kind to grow on it in a balanced manner, 19 And We have made in it means of subsistence for you and for him for whom you are not the suppliers. 20 And there is not a thing the treasure* of which is not with Us; and We do not send it down except by a known measure. (* The power to create it.) 21 We send rain-impregnated winds, and water from the sky which you drink, but you are not the keepers of its store. 22 And verily We! it is We who give life and death, and We shall be the survivors. 23 And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come]. 24 And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing. 25
