And certainly We have made strongholds in the heaven and We have made it fair seeming to the beholders. 16 And We have guarded it (near heaven) from every outcast Shaitan (devil). 17 Except the ones who listen on the sly, yet they are chased away by a shooting flame. 18 We have spread out the earth, fixed mountains thereupon and caused everything to grow to its proper weight 19 And We have appointed thereon for you livelihoods and also for those of whom ye are not the providers. 20 And there is not a thing but with Us are the stores thereof. And we send it not down save in appointed measure. 21 And We let loose the winds to fertilize [plants] and We send down water from the skies and let you drink thereof: and it is not you who dispose of its source 22 It is We who give life and We who give death, and We are the One who will abide. 23 To Us are known those of you who hasten forward, and those who lag behind. 24 Indeed your Lord will gather them all together. Surely He is All-Wise, All-Knowing. 25
