We have set in heaven constellations and decked them out fair to the beholders, 16 We have protected them from every condemned devil, 17 Save him who stealeth the hearing, and him there followeth a flame gleaming. 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 given unto you livelihoods therein, and unto those for whom ye provide not. 20 And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known measure. 21 And We send the winds fertilizing, then send down water from the cloud so We give it to you to drink of, nor is it you who store it up. 22 And surely, it is We who give life and make to die. We are the Inheritor. 23 And indeed We know those among you who came forward and indeed We know those among you who remained behind. 24 Your Lord will resurrect them all; He is All-wise and All-knowing. 25
