We have set constellations in the heavens and made them pleasing to the beholders, 16 and We have made them secure against every satanic force accursed 17 so that anyone who seeks to learn [the unknowable] by stealth is pursued by a flame clear to see. 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 given unto you livelihoods therein, and unto those for whom ye provide not. 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 winds fertilizing, then We send down water from the heaven and We give it to you to drink, and thereof ye could not be the treasurers. 22 It is We who give life and cause things to die and We are the sole Heirs. 23 And certainly We know those of you who have gone before and We certainly know those who shall come later. 24 Your Lord will surely gather them together: Certainly He is all-wise and all-knowing. 25
