And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers. 16 And We have preserved it from every accursed devil, 17 Save him who stealeth the hearing, and them doth a clear flame pursue. 18 And the earth - We have spread it out wide, and placed on it mountains firm, and caused [life] of every kind to grow on it in a balanced manner, 19 We have provided on it sustenance for you, and for those you cannot provide. 20 There is nothing except that its treasuries are with Us and We do not send it down except in a known measure. 21 And We sent the winds that relieve the clouds’ burden, therefore caused water to descend from the sky, then give it to you to drink; and you are not at all its treasurers. 22 Lo! and it is We, even We, Who quicken and give death, and We are the Inheritor. 23 We know those who lived before you and those who will come after you. 24 And surely your Lord will gather them together; surely He is Wise, Knowing. 25
