And indeed We created towers in the skies, and beautified it for the beholders. 16 and We have made them secure against every satanic force accursed 17 save him who may eavesdrop, and then a bright flame pursues him. 18 And the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon mountains firm and immovable; and produced therein all kinds of things in due balance. 19 We have provided therein a means of livelihood for you and for all those creatures for whom you do not provide. 20 With Us is the source of everything and We do not send it down except in a known quantity. 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 indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor. 23 We surely know those of you who go forward and those of you who lag behind. 24 and it is your Lord who will gather them. He is Wise, Knowing. 25
