And indeed We created towers in the skies, and beautified it for the beholders. 16 And We have preserved it from every accursed devil, 17 Save him who stealeth the hearing, and them doth a clear flame pursue. 18 And the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon mountains firm and immovable; and produced therein all kinds of things in due balance. 19 and there appointed for you is a livelihood, and for those you do not provide. 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 And We send the winds fertilizing, then We send down water from the heaven and We give it to you to drink, and thereof ye could not be the treasurers. 22 And most surely We bring to life and cause to die and We are the heirs. 23 And assuredly We know those of you who have gone before and those who will come hereafter. 24 and it is your Lord who will gather them. He is Wise, Knowing. 25
