AND, INDEED, We have set up in the heavens great constellations, and endowed them with beauty for all to behold; 16 and We have made them secure against every satanic force accursed 17 Save him who stealeth the hearing, and them doth a clear flame pursue. 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 and there appointed for you is a livelihood, and for those you do not provide. 20 And there is not a thing but with Us are the stores thereof. And we send it not down save in appointed measure. 21 And We have sent the fertilizing winds and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from it. And you are not its retainers. 22 And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor. 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
