And indeed, We have put the big stars in the heaven and We beautified it for the beholders. 16 And (moreover) We have guarded them from every cursed devil: 17 but if anyone eavesdrops, he is pursued by a bright flaming fire. 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 provided therein means of subsistence,- for you and for those for whose sustenance ye are not responsible. 20 And there is not a thing but its (sources and) treasures (inexhaustible) are with Us; but We only send down thereof in due and ascertainable measures. 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 for, behold, it is We - We alone - who grant life and deal death, and it is We alone who shall remain after all else will have passed away! 23 And assuredly We know those of you who have gone before and those who will come hereafter. 24 Indeed your Lord will gather them all together. Surely He is All-Wise, All-Knowing. 25
