We have placed the signs of the Zodiac in the sky, and decked it out for those who can see; 16 And We have guarded it from every Satan damned. 17 except for those who stealthily try to listen to the heavens, but who are chased away by a bright flame. 18 And We spread out the earth, and placed mountains as anchors in it, and in it grew all things by a proper measure. 19 We have provided on it sustenance for you, and for those you cannot provide. 20 And there is not a thing but with Us are the stores thereof. And we send it not down save in appointed measure. 21 And We send the fecundating winds, then cause the rain to descend from the sky, therewith providing you with water (in abundance), though ye are not the guardians of its stores. 22 Lo! and it is We, even We, Who quicken and give death, and We are the Inheritor. 23 We know those of you who press forward, and We know the laggards, 24 Indeed your Lord will gather them all together. Surely He is All-Wise, All-Knowing. 25
