And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do they not then understand? 68 We have not taught him poetry; it is not seemly for him. It is only a Remembrance and a Clear Koran, 69 that he may warn whosoever is living, and that the Word may be realized against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see that We have created cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters? 71 and that We have subjected them to men's will, so that some of them they may use for riding and of some they may eat, 72 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 73 And take other gods apart from God that they may perhaps give them help. 74 they are unable to succour their devotees, even though to them they may [appear to] be hosts drawn up [for succour]. 75 So do not let their sayings grieve you. Surely, We have knowledge of what they hide and all that they reveal. 76 Does not man see We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 77 And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own (origin and) Creation: He says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?" 78 Say: "He who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life [once again,] seeing that He has full knowledge of every act of creation: 79 [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. 80 Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Yea! and He is the Creator (of all), the Knower. 81 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 Exaltations to Him in whose Hand is the Kingdom of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
