As for the earth, We have stretched it out and placed on it firm mountains, and We have caused to grow in it everything well-balanced,

and created in it sources of sustenance for you and those (creatures) for whom you are not the sustainers.

We have treasures of every thing, but We send it down only in a determined quantity.

And We sent forth winds carrying the clouds, then sent down water from the sky and gave it to you to drink, and you are not able to store it.

It is indeed We, and only We, who give life and bring death, and We are the ultimate inheritor (of everything).

We know those of you who went ahead, and We know those who remained late.

Indeed We created man from a ringing clay made of decayed mud.

As for the Jānn (the first Jinn), We had created him earlier from the fire of the scorching wind.

Recall when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to create a human being from a ringing clay made of decayed mud.
