If We extend anyone's life, We reverse his development. Can they not use their reason? 68 We have not taught him any poetry nor would it be fitting for him. This is merely a Reminder and a clear Quran 69 to the end that it may warn everyone who is alive [of heart,] and that the word [of God] may bear witness against all who deny the truth. 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 We have subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat. 72 They derive a variety of benefits and drinks from them. Will they, then, not give thanks? 73 And take other gods apart from God that they may perhaps give them help. 74 They are not able to give them succour; whereas they shall be against them host brought forward. 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 76 Hath not man seen that We have created him from a drop of seed? Yet lo! he is an open opponent. 77 And he propoundeth for us a similitude, and forgetteth his creation; he saith: who shall quicken the bones when they are 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 who produces for you fire out of the green tree, so that, lo! you kindle [your fires] therewith." 80 How can He who created the heavens and the earth not be able to create others like them? Why not? He is the real creator all-knowing. 81 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "Be!" and it is. 82 Holy is He Who has full control over everything, and to Him you shall all be recalled. 83
