We have set in heaven constellations and decked them out fair to the beholders, 16 And (moreover) We have guarded them from every cursed devil: 17 Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame. 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 We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers. 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 And We send the winds fertilising, and cause water to descend from the sky, and give it you to drink. It is not ye who are the holders of the store thereof. 22 And surely, it is We who give life and make to die. We are the Inheritor. 23 And certainly We know those of you who have gone before and We certainly know those who shall come later. 24 And verily, your Lord will gather them together. Truly, He is All-Wise, All-Knowing. 25
