We have made constellations in the sky and decorated them for the onlookers. 16 And We have preserved it from every accursed devil, 17 Save him who stealeth the hearing, and him there followeth a flame gleaming. 18 And We spread out the earth, and placed mountains as anchors in it, and in it grew all things by a proper measure. 19 And we have given unto you livelihoods therein, and unto those for whom ye provide not. 20 For, no single thing exists that does not have its source with Us; and nought do We bestow from on high unless it be in accordance with a measure well-defined. 21 We send fertilizing winds, and then cause rain to descend from the sky, providing you abundant water to drink even though you could not have stored it up for yourselves. 22 And certainly We! We it is Who give life, and cause death, and We are the Inheritors. 23 Surely We know those of you who have passed before and those who will come later. 24 And surely your Lord will gather them together; surely He is Wise, Knowing. 25
