And assuredly We have set constellations in the heaven and made it fairseeming unto the beholders 16 and guarded them from every accursed Satan 17 excepting such as listens by stealth -- and he is pursued by a manifest flame. 18 And the earth - We have spread it out wide, and placed on it mountains firm, and caused [life] of every kind to grow on it in a balanced manner, 19 and there appointed for you livelihood, and for those you provide not for. 20 And there is not a thing but with Us are its treasuries, and We do not send it down except in 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 It is indeed We Who grant life and cause death and it is We who shall be the sole Inheritors of all. 23 And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come]. 24 And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing. 25
