And verily in the heaven we have set mansions of the stars, and We have beautified it for beholders. 16 and guarded them from every accursed Satan 17 so that anyone who seeks to learn [the unknowable] by stealth is pursued by a flame clear to see. 18 We stretched the earth and placed upon it firm stabilisers, and made all things grow upon it balanced evenly. 19 and there appointed for you livelihood, and for those you provide not for. 20 With Us is the source of everything and We do not send it down except in a known quantity. 21 We send rain-impregnated winds, and water from the sky which you drink, but you are not the keepers of its store. 22 And most surely We bring to life and cause to die and We are the heirs. 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 Lo! thy Lord will gather them together. Lo! He is Wise, Aware. 25
