We have set constellations in the heavens and made them pleasing to the beholders, 16 We have protected them from every condemned devil, 17 Except the ones who listen on the sly, yet they are chased away by a shooting flame. 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 provided therein means of subsistence,- for you and for those for whose sustenance ye are not responsible. 20 Naught is there, but its treasuries are with Us, and We send it not down but in a known measure. 21 We send fertilizing winds, and then cause rain to descend from the sky, providing you abundant water to drink even though you could not have stored it up for yourselves. 22 It is We who give life and We who give death, and We are the One who will abide. 23 Surely We know those of you who have passed before and those who will come later. 24 and it is thy Lord shall muster them, and He is All-wise, All-knowing. 25
