We have set constellations in the heavens and made them pleasing to the beholders, 16 We have protected them from every condemned devil, 17 excepting such as listens by stealth -- and he is pursued by a manifest flame. 18 We have spread out the earth and set upon it firm mountains. Everything We have caused to grow therein is justly weighed; 19 And We have made in it means of subsistence for you and for him for whom you are not the suppliers. 20 And there is not a thing the treasure of which, and the power to create it, is not with Us; and We do not send it down except by a known 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 And indeed it is We Who give life and it is We Who cause death, and We are the Inheritors. 23 And indeed We know those among you who came forward and indeed We know those among you who remained behind. 24 Indeed your Lord will gather them all together. Surely He is All-Wise, All-Knowing. 25
