And to whomsoever We give long life, We bend him over in His constitution; what, do they not 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 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Did they not see that We have created animals for them from Our handiwork, so 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 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? 73 And take other gods apart from God that they may perhaps give them help. 74 It is not in their power to help them; but they (the worshippers) are unto them a host in arms. 75 Muhammad, let not their words annoy you. We certainly know whatever they conceal or reveal. 76 Does not man see We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 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 will revive them Who produced them at the first, for He is Knower of every creation, 79 "The same Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! ye kindle therewith (your own fires)! 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 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto 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
