And whomsoever We grant long life, We reverse him in creation. Reflect then they not? 68 We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for him: this is no less than a Message and a Qur'an making things clear: 69 to warn all who are truly alive, and to justify the word [God's verdict] against the deniers. 70 Are they, then, not aware that it is for them that We have created, among all the things which Our hands have wrought, the domestic animals of which they are [now] masters? 71 And that We have subjected them to their (use)? of them some do carry them and some they eat: 72 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? 73 And they have taken beside Allah gods, hoping that haply they may be succoured. 74 They will not be able to help them and will be brought (to Us) as their levied troops. 75 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly. 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 he strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones when they are rotten? 78 Say: 'He will quicken them who originated them the first time; He has knowledge of every creation; 79 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith. 80 Is the One who has created the heavens and the earth not able to create another creature like the human being? He certainly has the power to do so. He is the Supreme Creator and is All-knowing. 81 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
