And to whomsoever We give long life, We bend him over in His constitution; what, do they not understand? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran, 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 what We have created from the labor of Our own hands? We have given them cattle. 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 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? 73 And they have taken gods besides Allah that they may be helped. 74 (But) they shall not be able to assist them, and they shall be a host brought up before them. 75 So be not grieved by what they say. We certainly know what they hide and disclose. 76 Beholdest not man that We have created him from a sperm? Yet lo! he is a manifest disputer? 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 will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is Well-versed in every kind of creation!- 79 Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith. 80 And is it not possible for the One Who created the heavens and the earth to create the likes of them? It is surely possible, why not? And He is the Great Creator, the All Knowing of everything. 81 His Being alone is such that when He wills a thing to be, He but says unto it, "Be" — and it is. 82 Holy is He Who has full control over everything, and to Him you shall all be recalled. 83
