We have indeed set constellations in the heavens and have beautified them for the beholders, 16 And We guard it against every accursed Shaitan, 17 except for those who stealthily try to listen to the heavens, but who are chased away by a bright flame. 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 provided therein means of subsistence,- for you and for those for whose sustenance ye are not responsible. 20 And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to 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 Truly, it is We who bring to life and We who cause death and We are the inheritor of all things. 23 We know the ones of you who press forward, and We know the laggards; 24 and it is your Lord who will gather them. He is Wise, Knowing. 25
