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 Save him who stealeth the hearing, and them doth a clear flame pursue. 18 And the earth We spread out, and placed therein firm mountains, and caused to grow therein all kinds of things in due proportion. 19 and provided thereon means of livelihood for you [O men] as well as for all [living beings] whose sustenance does not depend on you. 20 Naught is there, but its treasuries are with Us, and We send it not 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 Truly, it is We who bring to life and We who cause death and We are the inheritor of all things. 23 And verily We know the eager among you and verily We know the laggards. 24 Your Lord will resurrect them all; He is All-wise and All-knowing. 25
