And certainly We have made strongholds in the heaven and We have made it fair seeming to the beholders. 16 And We guard it against every accursed Shaitan, 17 Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame. 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 We have provided on it sustenance for you, and for those you cannot provide. 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 We send down water from the heaven and We give it to you to drink, and thereof ye could not be the treasurers. 22 It is We who give life and We who give death, and We are the One who will abide. 23 And well do We know [the hearts and deeds of all human beings - both] those who lived before you and those who will come after you; 24 Indeed your Lord will gather them all together. Surely He is All-Wise, All-Knowing. 25
