And assuredly We have set constellations in the heaven and made it fairseeming unto the beholders 16 and We have made them secure against every satanic force accursed 17 excepting such as listens by stealth -- and he is pursued by a manifest flame. 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 And We have provided therein means of subsistence,- for you and for those for whose sustenance ye are not responsible. 20 And there is not a thing, but with Us are the stores thereof. And We send it not down except in a known measure. 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 certainly We! We it is Who give life, and cause death, and We 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 surely your Lord will gather them together; surely He is Wise, Knowing. 25
