And indeed We created towers in the skies, and beautified it for the beholders. 16 And We have guarded it (near heaven) from every outcast Shaitan (devil). 17 Except one who comes to eavesdrop – therefore a bright flame goes after him. 18 And We spread out the earth, and placed mountains as anchors in it, and in it grew all things by a proper measure. 19 We have provided on it sustenance for you, and for those you cannot provide. 20 And there is not a thing the treasure* of which is not with Us; and We do not send it down except by a known measure. (* The power to create it.) 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 verily We! it is We who give life and death, and We shall be the survivors. 23 We know those of you who press forward, and We know the laggards, 24 It is your Lord who will gather them. He is all wise and all knowing. 25
