And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers. 16 And We have kept it guarded from every outcast devil. 17 Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame. 18 We have spread out the earth, fixed mountains thereupon and caused everything to grow to its proper weight 19 And created livelihoods for you in it, and created those for whom you do not provide the sustenance. 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 It is We who give life, and make to die, and it is We who are the inheritors. 23 And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come]. 24 Your Lord will surely gather them together: Certainly He is all-wise and all-knowing. 25
