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 (Muhammad) to versify, nor is it worthy of him. This is nothing but a reminder and illuminating discourse, 69 That it may give admonition to any (who are) alive, and that the charge may be proved against those who reject (Truth). 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them the cattle they master with Our Hands? 71 And We have subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat. 72 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? 73 But [nay,] they take to worshipping deities other than God, [hoping] to be succoured [by them, and not knowing that] 74 They (the appointed Gods) cannot help them; and they and their armies will come (to Us), as captives. 75 So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare. 76 Does man not see that We created him of a sperm drop, and lo! he is flagrantly contentious? 77 And he strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones when they are rotten? 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 He Who has made for you the fire (to burn) from the green tree, so that with it you kindle (fire). 80 Is, then, He who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create [anew] the like of those [who have died]? Yea, indeed - for He alone is the all-knowing Creator: 81 When He wills a thing, His command is to say to it 'Be', and it is! 82 So glory be to Him who has control over all things. It is to Him that you will all be brought back. 83
