We have placed constellations in heaven and have beautified it for beholders, 16 and guarded them from every accursed Satan 17 Save him who stealeth the hearing, and him there followeth a flame gleaming. 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 provided therein means of living, for you and for those whom you provide not [moving (living) creatures, cattle, beasts, and other animals]. 20 For, no single thing exists that does not have its source with Us; and nought do We bestow from on high unless it be in accordance with a measure well-defined. 21 We let loose fertilizing winds, and bring water from the sky for you to drink; and you could not have stored it up for yourselves. 22 It is We who give life and cause things to die and We are the sole Heirs. 23 And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come]. 24 Your Lord will surely gather them together: Certainly He is all-wise and all-knowing. 25
