We have placed constellations in heaven and have beautified it for beholders, 16 and We have guarded it from every accursed devil: 17 save him who may eavesdrop, and then a bright flame pursues him. 18 And the earth -- We stretched it forth, and cast on it firm mountains, and We caused to grow therein of every thing justly weighed, 19 We have provided on it sustenance for you, and for those you cannot provide. 20 And there is not a thing the treasure* of which is not with Us; and We do not send it down except by a known measure. (* The power to create it.) 21 We send rain-impregnated winds, and water from the sky which you drink, but you are not the keepers of its store. 22 And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor. 23 We know the ones of you who press forward, and We know the laggards; 24 Lo! thy Lord will gather them together. Lo! He is Wise, Aware. 25
