It is only the word (of God) and the illustrious Quran 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, among the things which Our hands have fashioned, We have created for them cattle of which they are the masters, 71 and that We have subjected them to men's will, so that some of them they may use for riding and of some they may eat, 72 And for them in the animals are numerous different benefits and drinks; so will they not be grateful? 73 And they have taken beside Allah gods, hoping that haply they may be succoured. 74 Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them. 75 So be not grieved by what they say. We certainly know what they hide and disclose. 76 Does not man see that We have created him from Nutfah (mixed male and female discharge semen drops). Yet behold! He (stands forth) as an open opponent. 77 And applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 78 Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all 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 thereof?" - Yea, indeed! for He is the Creator Supreme, of skill and knowledge (infinite)! 81 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "Be!" and it is. 82 Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdom of all things, and to Him you shall be brought back. 83
