And certainly We have made strongholds in the heaven and We have made it fair seeming to the beholders. 16 and guarded them from every accursed Satan 17 Save him who stealeth the hearing, and them doth a clear flame pursue. 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 Of all things there are We have the stores, and send them down in determined 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 certainly We! We it is Who give life, and cause death, and We are the Inheritors. 23 And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come]. 24 Your Lord will resurrect them all; He is All-wise and All-knowing. 25
