And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers. 16 and We have made them secure against every satanic force accursed 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 And We have provided therein means of living, for you and for those whom you provide not [moving (living) creatures, cattle, beasts, and other animals]. 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 fecundating winds, then cause the rain to descend from the sky, therewith providing you with water (in abundance), though ye are not the guardians of its stores. 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
