If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 68 AND [thus it is:] We have not imparted to this [Prophet the gift of] poetry, nor would [poetry] have suited this [message]: it is but a reminder and a [divine] discourse, clear in itself and clearly showing the truth, 69 that he may warn the living, and so that Judgement may be passed against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see the cattle among things We have fashioned by Our power, which they own, 71 And We have subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat. 72 And they derive other advantages and drinks from them. Even then they do not offer thanks, 73 They set up deities apart from Allah, hoping that they will receive help from them. 74 They cannot help them, but they will be brought forward as a troop against those who worshipped them (at the time of Reckoning). 75 So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare. 76 Does not man see that We created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 77 And he has struck for Us a parable, and forgotten his own creation. He asks: 'Who will quicken the bones after they have decayed' 78 Say: "He who created you the first time. He has knowledge of every creation, 79 He has created fire for you out of the green tree from which you can kindle other fires. 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 When He wills a thing, His command is to say to it 'Be', and it is! 82 Wherefore hallowed be He in whose hand is the governance of everything, and unto whom ye shall be returned. 83
