And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers. 16 And We guard it against every accursed Shaitan, 17 Except the ones who listen on the sly, yet they are chased away by a shooting flame. 18 And the earth -- We stretched it forth, and cast on it firm mountains, and We caused to grow therein of every thing justly weighed, 19 and there appointed for you livelihood, and for those you provide not for. 20 There is not a thing but its storehouses are with Us. But We only send down each thing in an appropriate measure: 21 And We send the winds fertilising, and cause water to descend from the sky, and give it you to drink. It is not ye who are the holders of the store thereof. 22 And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor. 23 To Us are known those of you who hasten forward, and those who lag behind. 24 and, behold, it is thy Sustainer who will gather them all together [on Judgment Day]: verily, He is Wise, All-Knowing! 25
