We have set in heaven constellations and decked them out fair to the beholders, 16 and guarded them from every stoned satan. 17 Except the ones who listen on the sly, yet they are chased away by a shooting flame. 18 And the earth! We have stretched it out and have cast thereon mountains firm, and We have caused to spring up thereon everything weighed. 19 We have provided therein a means of livelihood for you and for all those creatures for whom you do not provide. 20 And there is not a thing the treasure* of which is not with Us; and We do not send it down except by a known measure. (* The power to create it.) 21 And We loose the winds fertilising, and We send down out of heaven water, then We give it to you to drink, and you are not its treasurers. 22 It is We who give life, and make to die, and it is We who are the inheritors. 23 Surely We know those of you who have passed before and those who will come later. 24 And verily, your Lord will gather them together. Truly, He is All-Wise, All-Knowing. 25
