AND, INDEED, We have set up in the heavens great constellations, and endowed them with beauty for all to behold; 16 And We have preserved it from every accursed devil, 17 Except the ones who listen on the sly, yet they are chased away by a shooting flame. 18 And the earth-- We have spread it forth and made in it firm mountains and caused to grow in it of every suitable thing. 19 And we have given unto you livelihoods therein, and unto those for whom ye provide not. 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 rain-impregnated winds, and water from the sky which you drink, but you are not the keepers of its store. 22 for, behold, it is We - We alone - who grant life and deal death, and it is We alone who shall remain after all else will have passed away! 23 And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come]. 24 And verily, your Lord will gather them together. Truly, He is All-Wise, All-Knowing. 25
