And indeed We created towers in the skies, and beautified it for the beholders. 16 We have protected them from every condemned devil, 17 But he who steals a hearing, so there follows him a visible flame. 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 and there appointed for you livelihood, and for those you provide not for. 20 Of all things there are We have the stores, and send them down in determined measure. 21 We let loose fertilizing winds, and bring water from the sky for you to drink; and 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 And indeed, We know the first generations of you who had passed away, and indeed, We know the present generations of you (mankind), and also those who will come afterwards. 24 And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing. 25
