This is but an admonition and a Recital luminous: 69 to the end that it may warn everyone who is alive [of heart,] and that the word [of God] may bear witness against all who deny the truth. 70 Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork the cattle, so that they are their owners, 71 And We have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding and on some of them they feed? 72 They derive a variety of benefits and drinks from them. Will they, then, not give thanks? 73 But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped. 74 They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance. 75 So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare. 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 has struck for Us a parable, and forgotten his own creation. He asks: 'Who will quicken the bones after they have decayed' 78 Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing." 79 Who gave you fire from a green tree, with which you ignite the flame." 80 Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator. 81 Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is! 82 Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdom of all things, and to Him you shall be brought back. 83
