But [let them always remember that] if We lengthen a human being's days, We also cause him to decline in his powers [when he grows old]: will they not, then, use their reason? 68 And We have not taught him (Muhammad SAW) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is only a Reminder and a plain Quran. 69 That it may warn him who would have life, and (that) the word may prove true against the unbelievers. 70 Have they not seen what We have created from the labor of Our own hands? We have given them cattle. 71 We have subjected the cattle to them so that some of them they ride and eat the flesh of others. 72 And they have therefrom other benefits and drinks. Will they not then give thanks? 73 And yet they have taken gods, other than Allah, so that they might be helped! 74 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 75 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. 76 Does not man see that We have created him from the small seed? Then lo! he is an open disputant. 77 producing arguments against Us, and forgetting his own creation. He asks, "Who can give life back to bones after they have rotted away?" 78 Say, "He who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life again: He has knowledge of every type of creation: 79 He who produces fire for you from green trees and from this you kindle fire." 80 Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator. 81 His affair, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: be, and it becometh. 82 Therefor Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back. 83
