The physical growth of those whom We grant a long life will be reversed. Will you then not understand? 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 To warn the living*, and to prove the Word against disbelievers. (Only the believers are deemed alive in Allah’s sight.) 70 Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners? 71 And We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat. 72 And for them therein are [other] benefits and drinks, so will they not be grateful? 73 And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah, in order that they may be helped. 74 but they are not able to help them: rather they will be brought before God as their allied host. 75 Let not their words grieve you. Surely We know all things about them, what they conceal and what they reveal. 76 Doth not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm? yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary! 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 (Muhammad), tell him, "He who gave them life in the first place will bring them back to life again. He has the best knowledge of all creatures. 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 of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator. 81 Whenever He wills a thing, He just commands it “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
