And verily in the heaven we have set mansions of the stars, and We have beautified it for beholders. 16 And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allah] 17 but if anyone eavesdrops, he is pursued by a bright flaming fire. 18 We have spread out the earth, and set upon it firm mountains and caused everything to grow in due proportion. 19 And We have made in it means of subsistence for you and for him for whom you are not the suppliers. 20 And there is not a thing, but with Us are the stores thereof. And We send it not down except in a known measure. 21 We let loose fertilizing winds, and bring water from the sky for you to drink; and you could not have stored it up for yourselves. 22 It is We who give life and cause things to die and We are the sole Heirs. 23 We know the people who lived before you and those who will come into existence after you. 24 and, behold, it is thy Sustainer who will gather them all together [on Judgment Day]: verily, He is Wise, All-Knowing! 25
