And indeed We created towers in the skies, and beautified it for the beholders. 16 And We have kept it guarded from every outcast devil. 17 Save him who stealeth the hearing, and them doth a clear flame pursue. 18 And the earth -- We stretched it forth, and cast on it firm mountains, and We caused to grow therein of every thing justly weighed, 19 And created livelihoods for you in it, and created those for whom you do not provide the sustenance. 20 And there is not of aught but with Us are the treasures thereof, and We send it not down save in a measure known 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 indeed it is We Who give life and it is We Who cause death, and We are the Inheritors. 23 And indeed, We know the first generations of you who had passed away, and indeed, We know the present generations of you (mankind), and also those who will come afterwards. 24 And verily, your Lord will gather them together. Truly, He is All-Wise, All-Knowing. 25
