And verily in the heaven we have set mansions of the stars, and We have beautified it for beholders. 16 and guarded them from every stoned satan. 17 Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame. 18 And We spread out the earth, and placed mountains as anchors in it, and in it grew all things by a proper measure. 19 to provide you and those for whose sustenance you are not responsible, with the necessities of life. 20 Naught is there, but its treasuries are with Us, and We send it not down but in a known measure. 21 We let loose fertilizing winds, and bring water from the sky for you to drink; and you could not have stored it up for yourselves. 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 And indeed We know those among you who came forward and indeed We know those among you who remained behind. 24 And verily, your Lord will gather them together. Truly, He is All-Wise, All-Knowing. 25
