But [let them always remember that] if We lengthen a human being's days, We also cause him to decline in his powers [when he grows old]: will they not, then, use their reason? 68 We did not teach him (Muhammad) poetry, nor was he supposed to be a poet. It is only the word (of God) and the illustrious Quran 69 To warn whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers. 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork the cattle, so that they are their owners, 71 We have subdued them to them, and some of them they ride, and some they eat; 72 And they have (other) profits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink. Will they not then be grateful? 73 And take other gods apart from God that they may perhaps give them help. 74 but they are not able to help them: rather they will be brought before God as their allied host. 75 So do not let their sayings grieve you. Surely, We have knowledge of what they hide and all that they reveal. 76 Does not man see that We created him from a drop. Yet there he is, flagrantly contentious, 77 And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones when they have rotted away and became dust?" 78 Say: 'He will quicken them who originated them the first time; He has knowledge of every creation; 79 He Who created from a green tree a fire for you, a fire to light your stoves with.” 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 decrees a thing, He need only say, "Be!" and it is. 82 So all glory to Him who holds all power over everything, to whom you will go back in the end. 83
