And indeed We created towers in the skies, and beautified it for the beholders. 16 And We have guarded it from every Satan damned. 17 save him who may eavesdrop, and then a bright flame pursues him. 18 And the earth have We spread out, and placed therein firm hills, and caused each seemly thing to grow therein. 19 to provide you and those for whose sustenance you are not responsible, with the necessities of life. 20 With Us is the source of everything and We do not send it down except in a known quantity. 21 We send rain-impregnated winds, and water from the sky which you drink, but you are not the keepers of its store. 22 And verily, it is We Who give life, and Who give death: it is We Who remain inheritors (after all else passes away). 23 We surely know those of you who go forward and those of you who lag behind. 24 Your Lord will resurrect them all; He is All-wise and All-knowing. 25
