16. And WE have, indeed, made mansions of stars in the heaven                   and have adorned it for beholders.  17. And WE have guarded it against the intrusion of every                   rejected Satan.  18. But if anyone hears stealthily something of revelation and                   distorts it, there pursues him a bright flame.  19. And the earth have WE spread out, and set therein firm                   mountains and cause every thing to grow therein in proper                   proportion.  20. And WE have made for you therein means of livelihood and                   also for all those for whom you do not provide.  21. And there is not a thing but are limitless treasures                   thereof with US and WE sent it not down except in a known                   measure.  22. And WE send fecundating winds, then WE send down water                   from the clouds, then WE give it to you to drink, and you                   could not yourselves store it.  23. And verily, it is WE Who give life, and WE Who cause                   death; And it is WE Who are the sole Inheritors of ALL.  24. And WE do know those who go ahead among you and WE also do                   know those who lag behind.  25. And, surely, it is thy Lord Who will gather them together.                   Surely, HE is Wise, All-Knowing.  26. And, surely, WE created man from dry ringing clay, of                   black mud wrought into shape.  27. And the jinn WE have created before of the fire of hot                   wind.  28. And remember when thy Lord said to the angels, I am about                   to create man of dry ringing clay, of black mud wrought into                   shape:  29. So when I fashioned him in perfection and have breath into                   him of MY spirit, fall ye down in submission to him.'  30. So the angels submitted, all of them together.   31. But Iblis did not; he refused to be among those who                   submit.  |
