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 have not taught him (Prophet Muhammad) poetry, nor does it become him. This is only a Remembrance and a Clear Holy Reading (Koran) 69 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Have they not seen how that We have created for them of that Our hands wrought cattle that they own? 71 We have subjected these to them, so that some may be used for riding and some for food, 72 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? 73 They set up deities apart from Allah, hoping that they will receive help from them. 74 They will not be able to help them and will be brought (to Us) as their levied troops. 75 Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose. 76 Hath not man seen that We have created him from a drop of seed? Yet lo! he is an open opponent. 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: "He who created you the first time. He has knowledge of every creation, 79 He Who created from a green tree a fire for you, a fire to light your stoves with.” 80 "Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like thereof?" - Yea, indeed! for He is the Creator Supreme, of skill and knowledge (infinite)! 81 Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is! 82 Exaltations to Him in whose Hand is the Kingdom of all things, and to Him you will be returned. 83
