And verily in the heaven we have set mansions of the stars, and We have beautified it for beholders. 16 And We guard it against every accursed Shaitan, 17 Save him who stealeth the hearing, and him there followeth a flame gleaming. 18 And the earth have We spread out, and placed therein firm hills, and caused each seemly thing to grow therein. 19 And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers. 20 And there is not a thing but with Us are its treasuries, and We do not send it down except in a known measure. 21 We send fertilizing winds, and then cause rain to descend from the sky, providing you abundant water to drink even though you could not have stored it up for yourselves. 22 And certainly We! We it is Who give life, and cause death, and We are the Inheritors. 23 To Us are known those of you who hasten forward, and those who lag behind. 24 It is your Lord who will gather them. He is all wise and all knowing. 25
