If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 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 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see the cattle among things We have fashioned by Our power, which they own, 71 And have subjected the animals for them, so they ride some animals and eat some? 72 and may have [yet other] benefits from them, and [milk] to drink? Will they not, then, be grateful? 73 And they have taken besides Allah aliha (gods), hoping that they might be helped (by those so called gods). 74 they are unable to succour their devotees, even though to them they may [appear to] be hosts drawn up [for succour]. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee (O Muhammad). Lo! We know what they conceal and what proclaim. 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 producing arguments against Us, and forgetting his own creation. He asks, "Who can give life back to bones after they have rotted away?" 78 Say, "He will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is Well-versed in every kind of creation!- 79 He who produces fire for you from green trees and from this you kindle fire." 80 Is not He, who created the heavens and earth, able to create the like of them? Yes indeed; He is the All-creator, the All-knowing. 81 And His only task when He intends a thing is to command it, “Be” – and it thereupon happens! 82 Therefore Purity is to Him in Whose Hand* is the control over all things and it is towards Him that you will be returned. (Used as a metaphor to mean Power). 83
