Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor it befitteth him. This is but an admonition and a Recital luminous: 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 We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners? 71 And have subjected the animals for them, so they ride some animals and eat some? 72 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful? 73 And yet they have taken gods, other than Allah, so that they might be helped! 74 (But) they shall not be able to assist them, and they shall be a host brought up before them. 75 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. 76 Has the human being not considered that We have created him from a drop of fluid. He is openly quarrelsome. 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 thou: He shall quicken them Who brought them forth for the first time, and He is of every kind of creation the Knower! 79 Who gave you fire from a green tree, with which you ignite the flame." 80 Has He Who created the heavens and the earth no power to create the likes of them? Yes, indeed, He is the Superb Creator. 81 when He decrees a thing, He need only say, "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
