And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers. 16 and guarded them from every accursed Satan 17 except for those who stealthily try to listen to the heavens, but who are chased away by a bright flame. 18 As for the earth, We have stretched it out and have cast on it firm mountains, and have caused to grow in it everything well-measured. 19 and there appointed for you is a livelihood, and for those you do not provide. 20 And there is not a thing but with Us are the treasures of it, and We do not send it down but in a known measure. 21 We send rain-impregnated winds, and water from the sky which you drink, but you are not the keepers of its store. 22 It is We who give life and cause things to die and We are the sole Heirs. 23 We know the people who lived before you and those who will come into existence after you. 24 and, behold, it is thy Sustainer who will gather them all together [on Judgment Day]: verily, He is Wise, All-Knowing! 25
