And whomsoever We grant long life, We reverse him in creation. Reflect then they not? 68 AND [thus it is:] We have not imparted to this [Prophet the gift of] poetry, nor would [poetry] have suited this [message]: it is but a reminder and a [divine] discourse, clear in itself and clearly showing the truth, 69 that he may warn whosoever is living, and that the Word may be realized against the unbelievers. 70 Are they, then, not aware that it is for them that We have created, among all the things which Our hands have wrought, the domestic animals of which they are [now] masters? 71 And We have subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat. 72 and may have [yet other] benefits from them, and [milk] to drink? Will they not, then, be grateful? 73 And they have appointed Gods other than Allah, that perhaps they may be helped! 74 They are not able to give them succour; whereas they shall be against them host brought forward. 75 So be not grieved by what they say. We certainly know what they hide and disclose. 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 invents an example for Us, while forgetting his own creation, saying, “Who is such that can revive the bones when they have completely rotted away?” 78 Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing." 79 “The One Who has created for you fire from the green tree, so you kindle from it.” 80 Is He who created the heavens and the earth unable to create their like? Yes, indeed, He is the Creator, the Knower. 81 Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "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
