We have made constellations in the sky and decorated them for the onlookers. 16 And We have preserved it from every accursed devil, 17 except for those who stealthily try to listen to the heavens, but who are chased away by a bright flame. 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 We have provided on it sustenance for you, and for those you cannot provide. 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 have sent the fertilizing winds and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from it. And you are not its retainers. 22 And surely, it is We who give life and make to die. We are the Inheritor. 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 Lo! thy Lord will gather them together. Lo! He is Wise, Aware. 25
