And certainly We have made strongholds in the heaven and We have made it fair seeming to the beholders. 16 And We have preserved it from every accursed devil, 17 But he who steals a hearing, so there follows him a visible flame. 18 And the earth have We spread out, and placed therein firm hills, and caused each seemly thing to grow therein. 19 and there appointed for you livelihood, and for those you provide not for. 20 There is not a thing but its storehouses are with Us. But We only send down each thing in an appropriate measure: 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 indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor. 23 And certainly We know those of you who have gone before and We certainly know those who shall come later. 24 And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing. 25
