And indeed, We have put the big stars in the heaven and We beautified it for the beholders. 16 and guarded them from every accursed Satan 17 Except for he who steals the listening and is then pursued by a visible flame. 18 And the earth-- We have spread it forth and made in it firm mountains and caused to grow in it of every suitable thing. 19 and provided thereon means of livelihood for you [O men] as well as for all [living beings] whose sustenance does not depend on you. 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 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 indeed it is We Who give life and it is We Who cause death, and We are the Inheritors. 23 And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come]. 24 Lo! thy Lord will gather them together. Lo! He is Wise, Aware. 25
