And verily in the heaven we have set mansions of the stars, and We have beautified it for beholders. 16 And We have guarded it from every Satan damned. 17 save him who may eavesdrop, and then a bright flame pursues him. 18 We stretched the earth and placed upon it firm stabilisers, and made all things grow upon it balanced evenly. 19 And We have provided therein means of living, for you and for those whom you provide not [moving (living) creatures, cattle, beasts, and other animals]. 20 And there is not of aught but with Us are the treasures thereof, and We send it not down save in a measure known 21 We send fertilizing winds, and then cause rain to descend from the sky, providing you abundant water to drink even though you could not have stored it up for yourselves. 22 Lo! and it is We, even We, Who quicken and give death, and We are the Inheritor. 23 And indeed, We know the first generations of you who had passed away, and indeed, We know the present generations of you (mankind), and also those who will come afterwards. 24 Your Lord will surely gather them together: Certainly He is all-wise and all-knowing. 25
