And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers. 16 And We have kept it guarded from every outcast 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 and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing. 19 We have provided therein a means of livelihood for you and for all those creatures for whom you do not provide. 20 Naught is there, but its treasuries are with Us, and We send it not down but in a known measure. 21 And We loose the winds fertilising, and We send down out of heaven water, then We give it to you to drink, and you are not its treasurers. 22 Lo! and it is We, even We, Who quicken and give death, and We are the Inheritor. 23 We know the ones of you who press forward, and We know the laggards; 24 And verily thy Lord! He will gather them, and verily He is Wise, Knowing. 25
