We have placed the signs of the Zodiac in the sky, and decked it out for those who can see; 16 and guarded them from every accursed Satan 17 but if anyone eavesdrops, he is pursued by a bright flaming fire. 18 And the earth! We have stretched it out and have cast thereon mountains firm, and We have caused to spring up thereon everything weighed. 19 to provide you and those for whose sustenance you are not responsible, with the necessities of life. 20 And there is not a thing but with Us are the stores thereof. And we send it not down save in appointed measure. 21 And We send the fecundating winds, then cause the rain to descend from the sky, therewith providing you with water (in abundance), though ye are not the guardians of its stores. 22 It is We who give life and cause things to die and We are the sole Heirs. 23 We know those of you who press forward, and We know the laggards, 24 And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing. 25
