And indeed We created towers in the skies, and beautified it for the beholders. 16 And We have guarded it from every Satan damned. 17 Save him who stealeth the hearing, and him there followeth a flame gleaming. 18 And the earth We spread out, and placed therein firm mountains, and caused to grow therein all kinds of things in due proportion. 19 and there appointed for you livelihood, and for those you provide not for. 20 And there is not a thing but with Us are the treasures of it, and We do not send it down but in a known 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 for, behold, it is We - We alone - who grant life and deal death, and it is We alone who shall remain after all else will have passed away! 23 And verily We know the eager among you and verily We know the laggards. 24 And verily, your Lord will gather them together. Truly, He is All-Wise, All-Knowing. 25
