And certainly We have made strongholds in the heaven and We have made it fair seeming to the beholders. 16 And We have guarded it (near heaven) from every outcast Shaitan (devil). 17 Except him (devil) that gains hearing by stealing, he is pursued by a clear flaming fire. 18 As for the earth, We have stretched it out and have cast on it firm mountains, and have caused to grow in it everything well-measured. 19 to provide you and those for whose sustenance you are not responsible, with the necessities of life. 20 And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known 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 Surely We know those of you who have passed before and those who will come later. 24 Indeed your Lord only will raise them all on the Day of Resurrection; indeed only He is Wise, All Knowing. 25
