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 But any that gains a hearing by stealth, is pursued by a flaming fire, bright (to see). 18 As for the earth, We have stretched it out and have cast on it firm mountains, and have caused to grow in it everything well-measured. 19 And We have appointed thereon for you livelihoods and also for those of whom ye are not the providers. 20 With Us is the source of everything and We do not send it down except in a known quantity. 21 And We send the winds fertilizing, then send down water from the cloud so We give it to you to drink of, nor is it you who store it up. 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 It is your Lord who will gather them. He is all wise and all knowing. 25
