We have placed the signs of the Zodiac in the sky, and decked it out for those who can see; 16 And We have guarded it (near heaven) from every outcast Shaitan (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 to provide you and those for whose sustenance you are not responsible, with the necessities of life. 20 There is nothing except that its treasuries are with Us and We do not send it down except in a known measure. 21 And We send the winds fertilizing (to fill heavily the clouds with water), then caused the water (rain) to descend from the sky, and We gave it to you to drink, and it is not you who are the owners of its stores [i.e. to give water to whom you like or to withhold it from whom you like]. 22 Lo! and it is We, even We, Who quicken and give death, and We are the Inheritor. 23 We know those of you who press forward, and We know the laggards, 24 Lo! thy Lord will gather them together. Lo! He is Wise, Aware. 25
