We have set in heaven constellations and decked them out fair to the beholders, 16 And We have guarded it from every Satan damned. 17 but if anyone eavesdrops, he is pursued by a bright flaming fire. 18 And the earth! We have stretched it out and have cast thereon mountains firm, and We have caused to spring up thereon everything weighed. 19 to provide you and those for whose sustenance you are not responsible, with the necessities of life. 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 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 And most surely We bring to life and cause to die and We are the heirs. 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
