And certainly We have made strongholds in the heaven and We have made it fair seeming to the beholders. 16 and guarded them from every stoned satan. 17 Save him who stealeth the hearing, and them doth a clear flame pursue. 18 And the earth We spread out, and placed therein firm mountains, and caused to grow therein all kinds of things in due proportion. 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 except in a known measure. 21 We send the winds fertilizing, and We send down out of heaven water, from which you drink and you are not its treasurers. 22 And certainly We! We it is Who give life, and cause death, and We are the Inheritors. 23 We know the ones of you who press forward, and We know the laggards; 24 and it is thy Lord shall muster them, and He is All-wise, All-knowing. 25
