15:16 We have placed constellations in the heaven and adorned it for the onlookers,

15:17 and We have guarded it from every accursed devil,

15:18 except the one who manages to eavesdrop, he will then be pursued by a visible burning flame.

15:19 As for the earth, We have spread it out and placed therein firm mountains, and caused to grow therein everything in due proportion.

15:20 And We have made therein for you means of sustenance and for those[1] whom you do not provide.

15:21 There is nothing except that We have its treasuries, and We do not send it down except in a determined measure.

15:22 And We send fertilizing winds[1], and send down rain from the sky for you to drink, and it is not you who could store it.

15:23 Indeed, it is We Who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritors [of all things].

15:24 We surely know those of you who have gone before and those who are yet to come.

15:25 It is your Lord Who will gather them together. He is All-Wise, All-Knowing.

15:26 We have created man from sounding clay, made of aging mud[1].

15:27 And the jinn[1] We created before that, from smokeless fire.

15:28 And [remember] when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to create a human being from sounding clay, made of aging mud.

15:29 When I have shaped him and breathed into him of My spirit[1], then fall down before him in prostration.”

15:30 Thereupon, all of the angels fell down in prostration,

15:31 except for Iblīs, who refused to be with those who prostrated[1].
