And whomever We bring to an old age, We reverse him in creation; so 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 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 tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat. 72 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 73 Yet they take (for worship) gods other than Allah, (hoping) that they might be helped! 74 They will not be able to help them and will be brought (to Us) as their levied troops. 75 Let not their words grieve you. We have knowledge of all that they conceal and all that they reveal. 76 Doth not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm? yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary! 77 He strikes for Us a similitude and forgot his own creation. He says: “Who will quicken the bones when they have decayed?” 78 Say, "He will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is Well-versed in every kind of 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 like of them? Yea! and He is the Creator (of all), the Knower. 81 His affair, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: be, and it becometh. 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
