We have set in heaven constellations and decked them out fair to the beholders, 16 And We have guarded it from every outcast devil, 17 Except for he who steals the listening and is then pursued by a visible 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 We have provided therein a means of livelihood for you and for all those creatures for whom you do not provide. 20 There is not a thing but its storehouses are with Us. But We only send down each thing in an appropriate measure: 21 We let loose fertilizing winds, and bring water from the sky for you to drink; and you could not have stored it up for yourselves. 22 It is indeed We Who grant life and cause death and it is We who shall be the sole Inheritors of all. 23 And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come]. 24 Lo! thy Lord will gather them together. Lo! He is Wise, Aware. 25
