And verily in the heaven we have set mansions of the stars, and We have beautified it for beholders. 16 And We have kept it guarded from every outcast devil. 17 Save him who stealeth the hearing, and him there followeth a flame gleaming. 18 And the earth - We have spread it and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing. 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 nothing except that its treasuries are with Us and We do not send it down except in a known measure. 21 And We have sent the fertilizing winds and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from it. And you are not its retainers. 22 And verily, it is We Who give life, and Who give death: it is We Who remain inheritors (after all else passes away). 23 And indeed, We know the first generations of you who had passed away, and indeed, We know the present generations of you (mankind), and also those who will come afterwards. 24 And verily, your Lord will gather them together. Truly, He is All-Wise, All-Knowing. 25
