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 Save him who stealeth the hearing, and him there followeth a flame gleaming. 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 livelihood, and for those you provide not for. 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 send the winds fertilizing, then send down water from the cloud so We give it to you to drink of, nor is it you who store it up. 22 And verily We! it is We who give life and death, and We shall be the survivors. 23 And indeed We know those among you who came forward and indeed We know those among you who remained behind. 24 and, behold, it is thy Sustainer who will gather them all together [on Judgment Day]: verily, He is Wise, All-Knowing! 25
