And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers. 16 And We have guarded it (near heaven) from every outcast Shaitan (devil). 17 Except for he who steals the listening and is then pursued by a visible flame. 18 And the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon mountains firm and immovable; and produced therein all kinds of things in due balance. 19 And we have given unto you livelihoods therein, and unto those for whom ye provide not. 20 There is nothing except that its treasuries are with Us and We do not send it down except 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 And most surely We bring to life and cause to die and We are the heirs. 23 We know the people who lived before you and those who will come into existence after you. 24 And surely your Lord will gather them together; surely He is Wise, Knowing. 25
