And assuredly We have set constellations in the heaven and made it fairseeming unto the beholders 16 And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allah] 17 excepting such as listens by stealth -- and he is pursued by a manifest flame. 18 And the earth We spread out, and placed therein firm mountains, and caused to grow therein all kinds of things in due proportion. 19 And We have provided therein means of living, for you and for those whom you provide not [moving (living) creatures, cattle, beasts, and other animals]. 20 With Us is the source of everything and We do not send it down except in a known quantity. 21 And We send the fecundating winds, then cause the rain to descend from the sky, therewith providing you with water (in abundance), though ye are not the guardians of its stores. 22 Lo! and it is We, even We, Who quicken and give death, and We are the Inheritor. 23 And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come]. 24 and it is thy Lord shall muster them, and He is All-wise, All-knowing. 25
