We have made constellations in the sky and decorated them for the onlookers. 16 and We have made them secure against every satanic force accursed 17 save him who may eavesdrop, and then a bright flame pursues him. 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 and provided thereon means of livelihood for you [O men] as well as for all [living beings] whose sustenance does not depend on you. 20 There is not a thing but its storehouses are with Us. But We only send down each thing in an appropriate measure: 21 We send rain-impregnated winds, and water from the sky which you drink, but you are not the keepers of its store. 22 And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor. 23 We know the people who lived before you and those who will come into existence after you. 24 It is your Lord who will gather them. He is all wise and all knowing. 25
