Walaqad jaAAalna fee alssama-i buroojan wazayyannaha lilnnathireena\n16. It is We Who have set out\n The Zodiacal Signs in the heavens,\n And made them fair-seeming\n To (all) beholders;\n17. Wahafithnaha min kulli shaytanin rajeemin\n17. And (moreover) We have guarded them\nFrom every evil spirit accursed:\n18. Illa mani istaraqa alssamAAa faatbaAAahu shihabun mubeenun\n18. But any that gains a hearing\n By stealth, is pursued\n By a flaming fire, bright (to see).\n19. Waal-arda madadnaha waalqayna feeha rawasiya waanbatna feeha min kulli shay-in mawzoonin\n19. And the earth We have spread out\n (Like a carpet); set thereon\n Mountains firm and immovable;\n And produced therein all kinds\n Of things in due balance.\n20. WajaAAalna lakum feeha maAAayisha waman lastum lahu biraziqeena\n20. And We have provided therein\n Means of subsistence,\u2014for you\n And for those for whose sustenance\n Ye are not responsible.\n21. Wa-in min shay-in illa AAindana khaza-inuhu wama nunazziluhu illa biqadarin maAAloomin\n21. And there is not a thing\n But its (sources and) treasures\n(Inexhaustible) are with Us;\n But We only send down\n Thereof in due and ascertainable measures.\n22. Waarsalna alrriyaha lawaqiha faanzalna mina alssama-i maan faasqaynakumoohu wama antum lahu bikhazineena\n22. And We send the fecundating winds,\n Then cause the rain to descend\n From the sky, therewith providing\n You with water (in abundance),\n Though ye are not the guardians\n Of its stores.\n23. Wa-inna lanahnu nuhyee wanumeetu wanahnu alwarithoona\n23. And verily, it is We\n Who give life, and Who give\n Death: it is We Who remain Inheritors\n (After all else passes away).\n24. Walaqad AAalimna almustaqdimeena minkum walaqad AAalimna almusta/khireena\n24. To Us are known those of you\n Who hasten forward, and those\n Who lag behind.\n25. Wa-inna rabbaka huwa yahshuruhum innahu hakeemun AAaleemun\n25. Assuredly it is thy Lord\n Who will gather them together:\n For He is Perfect in Wisdom\n And Knowledge.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XV.: Al-Hijr, or The Rocky Tract.: Section 2 (16-25)","type":"page"}
