And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers. 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 As for the earth, We have stretched it out and have cast on it firm mountains, and have caused to grow in it everything well-measured. 19 And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers. 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 And We sent the winds that relieve the clouds’ burden, therefore caused water to descend from the sky, then give it to you to drink; and you are not at all its treasurers. 22 Truly, it is We who bring to life and We who cause death and We are the inheritor of all things. 23 And verily We know the eager among you and verily We know the laggards. 24 Lo! thy Lord will gather them together. Lo! He is Wise, Aware. 25
