We have set in heaven constellations and decked them out fair to the beholders, 16 and guarded them from every stoned satan. 17 Except one who comes to eavesdrop – therefore a bright flame goes after him. 18 We have spread out the earth, fixed mountains thereupon and caused everything to grow to its proper weight 19 to provide you and those for whose sustenance you are not responsible, with the necessities of life. 20 With Us is the source of everything and We do not send it down except in a known quantity. 21 We send the winds fertilizing, and We send down out of heaven water, from which you drink and you are not its treasurers. 22 It is We who give life and We who give death, and We are the One who will abide. 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 surely your Lord will gather them together; surely He is Wise, Knowing. 25
