And indeed We created towers in the skies, and beautified it for the beholders. 16 and We have guarded it from every accursed devil: 17 except for those who stealthily try to listen to the heavens, but who are chased away by a bright flame. 18 We have spread out the earth, and set upon it firm mountains and caused everything to grow in due proportion. 19 And we have given unto you livelihoods therein, and unto those for whom ye provide not. 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 And verily, it is We Who give life, and Who give death: it is We Who remain inheritors (after all else passes away). 23 We know the ones of you who press forward, and We know the laggards; 24 Lo! thy Lord will gather them together. Lo! He is Wise, Aware. 25
