We have set constellations in the heavens and made them pleasing to the beholders, 16 and guarded them from every stoned satan. 17 but if anyone eavesdrops, he is pursued by a bright flaming fire. 18 We have spread out the earth and set upon it firm mountains. Everything We have caused to grow therein is justly weighed; 19 to provide you and those for whose sustenance you are not responsible, with the necessities of life. 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 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 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 resurrect them all; He is All-wise and All-knowing. 25
