AND, INDEED, We have set up in the heavens great constellations, and endowed them with beauty for all to behold; 16 And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allah] 17 save him who may eavesdrop, and then a bright flame pursues him. 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 We have provided on it sustenance for you, and for those you cannot provide. 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 most surely We bring to life and cause to die and We are the heirs. 23 And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come]. 24 Your Lord will resurrect them all; He is All-wise and All-knowing. 25
