And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers. 16 and have protected them against every accursed satan 17 But any that gains a hearing by stealth, is pursued by a flaming fire, bright (to see). 18 We stretched the earth and placed upon it firm stabilisers, and made all things grow upon it balanced evenly. 19 And We have provided sustenance for you on it and also for those of whom you are not the providers. 20 Of all things there are We have the stores, and send them down in determined 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 those who lived before you and those who will come after you. 24 Assuredly it is thy Lord Who will gather them together: for He is perfect in Wisdom and Knowledge. 25
