And to whomsoever We give long life, We bend him over in His constitution; what, do they not understand? 68 We have not taught him poetry; it is not seemly for him. It is only a Remembrance and a Clear Koran, 69 that he may warn whosoever is living, and that the Word may be realized against the unbelievers. 70 Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own? 71 And We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat. 72 and may have [yet other] benefits from them, and [milk] to drink? Will they not, then, be grateful? 73 And yet they have taken gods, other than Allah, so that they might be helped! 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 And did not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open quarreller! 77 And he hath coined for Us a similitude, and hath forgotten the fact of his creation, saying: Who will revive these bones when they have rotted away? 78 Say: "He who brought them into being in the first instance will give them life [once again,] seeing that He has full knowledge of every act of creation: 79 He, Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! You kindle therewith. 80 Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator. 81 Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is! 82 Limitless, then, in His glory is He in whose hand rests the mighty dominion over all things; and unto Him you all will be brought back! 83
