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 that he may warn him who is alive and establish an argument against those that deny the Truth. 70 Do they not see the cattle among things We have fashioned by Our power, which they own, 71 We have subjected the cattle to them so that some of them they ride and eat the flesh of others. 72 They derive a variety of benefits and drinks from them. Will they, then, not give thanks? 73 And they have appointed Gods other than Allah, that perhaps they may be helped! 74 They (the appointed Gods) cannot help them; and they and their armies will come (to Us), as captives. 75 However, be not grieved by the sayings of those [who deny the truth]: verily, We know all that they keep secret as well as all that they bring into the open. 76 IS MAN, then, not aware that it is We who create him out of a [mere] drop of sperm - whereupon, lo! he shows himself endowed with the power to think and to argue? 77 And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own (origin and) Creation: He says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?" 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 He who produces fire for you from green trees and from this 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 affair, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: be, and it becometh. 82 So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
