And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers. 16 And We have guarded it from every Satan damned. 17 Except one who comes to eavesdrop – therefore a bright flame goes after him. 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 We have provided therein means of subsistence,- for you and for those for whose sustenance ye are not responsible. 20 And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known measure. 21 We send the winds fertilizing, and We send down out of heaven water, from which you drink and you are not its treasurers. 22 And certainly We! We it is Who give life, and 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 And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing. 25
