And verily in the heaven we have set mansions of the stars, and We have beautified it for beholders. 16 And We have guarded it from every outcast devil, 17 but if anyone eavesdrops, he is pursued by a bright flaming fire. 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 we have given unto you livelihoods therein, and unto those for whom ye provide not. 20 And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known measure. 21 And We let loose the winds to fertilize [plants] and We send down water from the skies and let you drink thereof: and it is not you who dispose of its source 22 It is We who give life and cause things to die and We are the sole Heirs. 23 Surely We know those of you who have passed before and those who will come later. 24 Lo! thy Lord will gather them together. Lo! He is Wise, Aware. 25
