It is We Who have set out the zodiacal signs in the heavens, and made them fair-seeming to (all) beholders; 16 And (moreover) We have guarded them from every cursed devil: 17 save him who may eavesdrop, and then a bright flame pursues him. 18 And the earth -- We stretched it forth, and cast on it firm mountains, and We caused to grow therein of every thing justly weighed, 19 We have provided therein a means of livelihood for you and for all those creatures for whom you do not provide. 20 There is not a thing but its storehouses are with Us. But We only send down each thing in an appropriate measure: 21 And We let loose the winds to fertilize [plants] and We send down water from the skies and let you drink thereof: and it is not you who dispose of its source 22 It is We who give life and cause things to die and We are the sole Heirs. 23 We know those of you who press forward, and We know the laggards, 24 and it is your Lord who will gather them. He is Wise, Knowing. 25
