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 And We have not taught him poetry, nor it befitteth him. This is but an admonition and a Recital luminous: 69 that he may warn whosoever is living, and that the Word may be realized against the unbelievers. 70 Have they not seen what We have created from the labor of Our own hands? We have given them cattle. 71 We have made the cattle subservient to them so they ride and consume them. 72 From cattle they get milk and other benefits. Will they not then give thanks? 73 Yet they have taken, apart from God, gods; haply they might be helped. 74 They will not be able to help them and will be brought (to Us) as their levied troops. 75 Muhammad, let not their words annoy you. We certainly know whatever they conceal or reveal. 76 Has the human not seen how We created him from a drop (of sperm)? Yet he is a clear opponent. 77 And he hath coined for Us a similitude, and hath forgotten the fact of his creation, saying: Who will revive these bones when they have rotted away? 78 Say: 'He shall quicken them, who originated them the first time; He knows all creation, 79 He Who has made for you the fire (to burn) from the green tree, so that with it you kindle (fire). 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 His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "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
