We have set constellations in the heavens and made them pleasing to the beholders, 16 We have protected them from every condemned devil, 17 excepting such as listens by stealth -- and he is pursued by a manifest flame. 18 And We spread out the earth, and placed mountains as anchors in it, and in it grew all things by a proper measure. 19 And We have provided therein means of living, for you and for those whom you provide not [moving (living) creatures, cattle, beasts, and other animals]. 20 Naught is there, but its treasuries are with Us, and We send it not down but in a known 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 We who give life, and make to die, and it is We who are the inheritors. 23 And indeed We know those among you who came forward and indeed We know those among you who remained behind. 24 And verily thy Lord! He will gather them, and verily He is Wise, Knowing. 25
