Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still 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 So that he may warn him who is alive and feels, and justify the word against those who do not believe. 70 Do they not see that We have created cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters? 71 And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat. 72 And therein they have advantages and drinks; will they not then be grateful? 73 And they have taken gods besides Allah that they may be helped. 74 They cannot help them, though they be hosts made ready for them. 75 So be not grieved by what they say. We certainly know what they hide and disclose. 76 Does man not see that We created him of a sperm drop, and lo! he is flagrantly contentious? 77 And applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 78 Say: “He Who first brought them into being will quicken them; He knows well about every kind of creation; 79 "The same Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! ye kindle therewith (your own fires)! 80 Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Yea! and He is the Creator (of all), the Knower. 81 Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is! 82 All glory belongs to the One in whose hands is the control of all things. To Him you will all return. 83
