And to whomsoever We give long life, We bend him over in His constitution; what, do they not understand? 68 And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain, 69 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners? 71 And We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat. 72 From cattle they get milk and other benefits. Will they not then give thanks? 73 But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped. 74 They are not able to give them succour; whereas they shall be against them host brought forward. 75 Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose. 76 And did not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open quarreller! 77 And [now] he [argues about Us, and] thinks of Us in terms of comparison, and is oblivious of how he himself was created! [And so] he says, "Who could give life to bones that have crumbled to dust?" 78 Say: 'He will quicken them who originated them the first time; He has knowledge of every creation; 79 who has made fire for you from the green tree with which you kindle' 80 How can He who created the heavens and the earth not be able to create others like them? Why not? He is the real creator all-knowing. 81 His Being alone is such that when He wills a thing to be, He but says unto it, "Be" — and it is. 82 So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned. 83
