And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers. 16 And We guard it against every accursed Shaitan, 17 but if anyone eavesdrops, he is pursued by a bright flaming fire. 18 We have spread out the earth, fixed mountains thereupon and caused everything to grow to its proper weight 19 And We have provided sustenance for you on it and also for those of whom you are not the providers. 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 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 for, behold, it is We - We alone - who grant life and deal death, and it is We alone who shall remain after all else will have passed away! 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
