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 We did not teach him (to wit, the Messenger) poetry and it does not behove him. This is none but an Admonition, and a Clear Book 69 That it may give admonition to any (who are) alive, and that the charge may be proved against those who reject (Truth). 70 Do they not see that We have created cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters? 71 We have made the cattle subservient to them so they ride and consume them. 72 And they have (other) benefits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink, will they not then be grateful? 73 They have set up other gods besides God, hoping to be helped by them, 74 They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance. 75 Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose. 76 Does man not see that We created him of a sperm drop, and lo! he is flagrantly contentious? 77 And he has struck for Us a similitude and forgotten his creation; he says, 'Who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed?' 78 Say: He will revive them Who produced them at the first, for He is Knower of every creation, 79 He who produces for you fire out of the green tree, so that, lo! you kindle [your fires] therewith." 80 Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Yea! and He is the Creator (of all), the Knower. 81 Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is! 82 So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
