And indeed We created towers in the skies, and beautified it for the beholders. 16 We have protected them from every condemned devil, 17 But he who steals a hearing, so there follows him a visible 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 Naught is there, but its treasuries are with Us, and We send it not down but in a known measure. 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 We surely know those of you who go forward and those of you who lag behind. 24 Your Lord will resurrect them all; He is All-wise and All-knowing. 25
