AND, INDEED, We have set up in the heavens great constellations, and endowed them with beauty for all to behold; 16 And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allah] 17 Save him who stealeth the hearing, and him there followeth a flame gleaming. 18 And the earth We spread out, and placed therein firm mountains, and caused to grow therein all kinds of things in due proportion. 19 and there appointed for you livelihood, and for those you provide not for. 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 And We sent the winds that relieve the clouds’ burden, therefore caused water to descend from the sky, then give it to you to drink; and you are not at all its treasurers. 22 Lo! and it is We, even We, Who quicken and give death, and We are the Inheritor. 23 We know those of you who press forward, and We know the laggards, 24 and it is your Lord who will gather them. He is Wise, Knowing. 25
