We have placed constellations in heaven and have beautified it for beholders, 16 and guarded them from every stoned satan. 17 except for those who stealthily try to listen to the heavens, but who are chased away by a bright flame. 18 And the earth! We have stretched it out and have cast thereon mountains firm, and We have caused to spring up thereon everything weighed. 19 We have provided therein a means of livelihood for you and for all those creatures for whom you do not provide. 20 There is nothing except that its treasuries are with Us and We do not send it down except in a known measure. 21 We let loose fertilizing winds, and bring water from the sky for you to drink; and you could not have stored it up for yourselves. 22 It is indeed We Who grant life and cause death and it is We who shall be the sole Inheritors of all. 23 We surely know those of you who go forward and those of you who lag behind. 24 And verily, your Lord will gather them together. Truly, He is All-Wise, All-Knowing. 25
