If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand? 68 And We have not taught him poetry, nor it befitteth him. This is but an admonition and a Recital luminous: 69 That it may give admonition to any (who are) alive, and that the charge may be proved against those who reject (Truth). 70 Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own? 71 We have subdued these to them, and some of them they ride 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 But [nay,] they take to worshipping deities other than God, [hoping] to be succoured [by them, and not knowing that] 74 (But) they shall not be able to assist them, and they shall be a host brought up before them. 75 Let not their words grieve you. We have knowledge of all that they conceal and all that they reveal. 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 strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones when they are rotten? 78 Say: 'He shall quicken them, who originated them the first time; He knows all creation, 79 He who produces for you fire out of the green tree, so that, lo! you kindle [your fires] 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, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is! 82 So glory be to Him who has control over all things. It is to Him that you will all be brought back. 83
