We have set constellations in the heavens and made them pleasing to the beholders, 16 And We have kept it guarded from every outcast devil. 17 excepting such as listens by stealth -- and he is pursued by a manifest 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 and there appointed for you is a livelihood, and for those you do not provide. 20 And there is not a thing the treasure* of which is not with Us; and We do not send it down except by a known measure. (* The power to create it.) 21 And We sent the winds that relieve the clouds’ burden, therefore caused water to descend from the sky, then give it to you to drink; and you are not at all its treasurers. 22 It is We who give life and We who give death, and We are the One who will abide. 23 We know the ones of you who press forward, and We know the laggards; 24 Your Lord will surely gather them together: Certainly He is all-wise and all-knowing. 25
