And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do they not then understand? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain 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 Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own? 71 And that We have subjected them to their (use)? of them some do carry them and some they eat: 72 they also have other uses in them and drinks. What, will they not give thanks! 73 And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah, in order that they may be helped. 74 They cannot help them, for them (the so called) army are brought (with them to Hell). 75 So let not their speech grieve thee (O Muhammad). Lo! We know what they conceal and what proclaim. 76 Does not man see We created him from a drop of semen? Even then he becomes an open contender, 77 And [now] he [argues about Us, and] thinks of Us in terms of comparison, and is oblivious of how he himself was created! [And so] he says, "Who could give life to bones that have crumbled to dust?" 78 Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation 79 [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. 80 Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Aye, that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator, 81 Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is! 82 So glory be to Him, in whose hand is the dominion of everything, and unto whom you shall be returned. 83
